Synopsis
When Wexford starts out as a young police officer, he is involved with a murder case where the perpetrator is not brought to justice. All these years, Wexford has harboured suspicions about the possible killer, who suddenly returns to Kingsmarkham. There are other apparently unrelated deaths, and once more Wexford is on the trail to uncover the evidence that will make the crucial connections. Ruth Rendell takes us back in time, not only to resolve a series of crimes, but to show Wexford as a young man, meeting Dora, his future wife, and developing into the unique, instinctive yet methodical detective that he becomes.

'[Targo] is as good a villain as Wexford ever tried to pin down ... hauntingly nasty.' (The Spectator)

'Ruth Rendell is marvellous at psychological tension ... She knits all the threads together with a casual flourish that shows veteran expertise.' (The Sunday Times)
'One of the best-written detective series in the genre's history ... At any time we can return to Kingsmarkham to explore the darker side of humanity with Wexford as our reassuring and humane guide.' (The Washington Post)

Condition: Good. : En 'The Monster in the Box', el inspector jefe Wexford regresa a sus días como joven policía, y al hombre que durante mucho tiempo ha sospechado de asesinato, asesinato en serie. Wexford había casi decidido que nunca volvería a ver la figura corta y musculosa de Eric Targo. Y, sin embargo, allí estaba, de vuelta en Kingsmarkham, todavía con ese andar engreído y pavoneante. Años antes, cuando Wexford era un joven oficial de policía, una mujer llamada Elsie Carroll había sido encontrada estrangulada en su dormitorio. Aunque muchos todavía sospechaban que su marido era culpable, nadie fue condenado. Otra mujer fue estrangulada poco después, y cada instinto personal y profesional le dijo a Wexford que el asesino todavía andaba suelto. Y era Eric Targo. Un psicópata que volvería a matar.
