When Carl sells a packet of slimming pills to his close friend Stacey, inadvertently causing her death, he triggers a series of catastrophic events that spiral into subterfuge, lies, and ultimately murder. In this dark and atmospheric tale of psychological suspense, themes of mistaken identity, kidnap, and blackmail unfold, featuring a cast of characters so vividly drawn that we come to know them intimately. Infused with a distinctive blend of wry humor, acute observation, and deep humanity, this work showcases the author at her most memorable. Ruth Rendell, an exceptional crime writer, is celebrated as a legend in her own lifetime. Her debut novel, published in 1964, introduced the enduring detective Inspector Reginald Wexford, who appeared in twenty-four subsequent novels. With around 20 million copies sold worldwide, Rendell was a regular Sunday Times bestseller. Her extensive body of work includes police procedurals, stand-alone psychological mysteries, and crime novels under the pseudonym Barbara Vine, often engaging with social and political issues. Rendell received numerous accolades, including the Crime Writers’ Association Gold Dagger and the Sunday Times Literary Award. In 2013, she was honored with the Cartier Diamond Dagger for sustained excellence in crime writing. She passed away in May 2015, leaving behind her final novel.
