Description
A botched murder attempt disguised as a traffic accident leaves the intended victim alive—but claims the life of an innocent driver. As Chief Inspector Reginald Wexford follows the tangled trail of motives and misdirection, he finds that the case is less about a single crime than about the fragile, sometimes poisonous bonds between people. Rendell’s sharp psychological insight turns every clue into a window on character, exposing how guilt, obsession, and self-justification can distort even the most ordinary lives. With her signature blend of meticulous investigation and unsettling emotional realism, this thriller tests what Wexford—and the reader—believes about truth, responsibility, and the cost of getting it wrong.
