About this title

Review:

"Yet further proof of Rendell's amazing criminal mastery" (Evening Standard)

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

"Targo haunted this world, as he haunts the reader: the monster is out of the box and it's impossible to put him back once this book has been closed" (Independent)

"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" (Washington Post)
