Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First. Ruth Barbara Rendell (1930 - 2015) was an English author of thrillers and psychological murder mysteries. She is best known for creating Chief Inspector Wexford in a series of two dozen books. Her Wexford stories were dramatized in a long-running BBC series. Like her friend PD James, Ms Rendell was widely credited with pushing mystery into new themes and ways of storytelling. It was often said of her, as it was of Ms James, that her work transcended the genre, and that by any measure she was an enormously talented writer She wrote more than 60 books, and her works have been translated into more than 20 languages and have had worldwide sales estimated as high as 60 million She won three prestigious Edgar Awards from the Mystery Writers of America, which named her to its list of grandmasters. She also won four Gold Daggers and a Diamond Dagger from England's Crime Writers' Association This title is the 11th book in the Wexford series, and one of the less common, At the time of this listing, it appears that this is the only author signed first UK edition available on the internet (ie Amazon, Abebooks, Biblio, eBay, etc) It is in excellent condition with the signature on the title page, and visible marks or damage. There is a previous bookseller sticker on the front, but it is affixed to the plastic jacket protective cover and not to the jacket directly. Signed by Rendell on the title page. . Signed.
