Hardcover. Deutsch/German. Random House. 1997. 447 Seiten. Gut erhalten, leicht verblichen. Ganz Kingsmarkham ist in Aufruhr. Der geplante Bau einer Umgehungsstrasse durch ein zauberhaftes Flusstal und eine Naturschutzzone erregt die Buerger - und die militante Oekoszene. Waehrend sich Dora Wexford den Protesten anschliesst, wahrt ihr Mann, Chief Inspector Wexford, eher Distanz. Die Polizeiermittlungen laufen auf Hochtouren, als in einem Waldstueck die Leiche einer jungen Studentin gefunden wird. Die einzige Spur fuehrt zum Taxifahrer Stanley Trotter, dem aber nichts nachzuweisen ist. Wenig spaeter findet jedoch ein Ueberfall auf die Taxizentrale statt, bei dem saemtliche Unterlagen durchwuehlt werden. Wieder ist Trotter der einzige Verdaechtige, und wieder fehlt jeder Beweis. Dann geschieht das Unfassbare: Fuenf Personen werden gleichzeitig als vermisst gemeldet, und eine der offenbar Entfuehrten ist Wexfords Frau! Unversehens ist die Polizeiroutine fuer Wexford zu einem Kampf gegen die Zeit - und die eigene Angst - geworden, denn zu den Entfuehrungen bekennt sich eine fanatische Umweltgruppe, die ein Ultimatum stellt: Die Bauarbeiten werden unverzueglich beendet, oder die Geiseln sterben. Schnell konzentrieren sich die Ermittlungen auf die Naturschuetzer. Als aber eine der Geiseln stirbt, keimt in Wexford ein anderer, schrecklicher Verdacht auf..

This item is sold brand new. It is ordered on demand from our supplier and is usually dispatched within 7 - 12 working days A contemporary psychological thriller in the style of Ruth Rendell, from one of today's most versatile and compelling storytellers. It was easy for Elizabeth. She married the man she loved, bore him two children and made a home for him which was the envy of their friends. It was harder for Ruth. She married Elizabeth's son and then found that, somehow, she could never quite measure up... Isolation, deceit and betrayal fill the gaps between the two individual women and between their different worlds. In this complex thriller, Philippa Gregory deploys all her insight into what women want and what women fear, as Ruth confronts the shifting borders of her own sanity. Laying bare the comfortable conventions of rural England, this spine-tingling novel pulses with suspense until the whiplash double-twist of the denouement.

Philip is a young man who lives with his widowed mother and two sisters in North London in 'reduced circumstances' since his father died. He's about to start his first job, and his girlfriend wants to marry and 'settle down'. but he starts to resist the life he can see mapped out. Like all Rendell novels, the story is set in a very recognisable world populated with everyday folk, but nothing is ever quite as it seems and the book takes on an increasingly claustrophobic and nightmarish quality as it goes along. Seemingly innocent and thoughtless gestures precipitate a relentless chain of events which the author depicts with painstaking, relentless inevitability. A young girl who was a contemporary of Philip's sister disappears, presumed dead, and this event brings on Philip's strange repulsion of violence, annexing him from his family. His ability to hide his thoughts makes him a very unreliable narrator, It's not an Inspector Wexford or a whodunnit as such, but it has an uneasy, claustrophobic atmosphere all of its own.

The Crocodile Bird by Ruth Rendell (1994) When her mother, Eve, tells Liza that she must leave their remote home, the gatehouse of a country mansion, Liza is terrified. Although seventeen years of age, she has never been on a bus or a train, has never played with a child of her own age. She has almost no knowledge of a world described by her mother as evil and destructive. Their strange, enclosed life together is over because Eve has killed a man. And he is not the first. With -100 in cash, Liza is cast aside. However, she is not alone. There is one particular secret she has kept from her mother - her love affair with a young man who worked in the big house. With him, gradually Liza learns about the world, about herself, and must come to terms with the possibility that the murderous violence of her mother may be present in her. 368 p. 11 cm

Paperback. English. Penguin. 1995. 213pp. In fair condition. Felicia is unmarried, pregnant, and penniless. She steals away from a small Irish town and drifts through the industrial English Midlands, searching for the boyfriend who left her. Instead she meets up with the fat, fiftyish, unfailingly reasonable Mr. Hilditch, who is looking for a new friend to join the five other girls in his Memory Lane. But the strange, sad, terrifying tricks of chance unravel both his and Felicia's delusions in a story that will magnetize fans of Alfred Hitchcock and Ruth Rendell even as it resonates with William Trevor's own "impeccable strength and piercing profundity" (The Washington Post Book World).
