A MAN IS MURDERED IN THE GARDENS OF A BRISTOL HOTEL.
Inquiries reveal that he worked as an escort for a local escort agency. Rose Piper, investigating DCI, cannot trace the woman he was on his way to meet. But then another employee of Avon Escorts is found dead...
In the heart of the Somerset, Freddie and Constance Lange farm land the family has owned for centuries. Freddie adores his wife, who is indispensable to the community.
But when Constance and her beloved son fall out, the Lang's idyllic family life is fractured. A darkness creeps in, culminating in tragedy. The two very different worlds of Rose Piper and Constance Lange collide in a tense story of sexual obsession and revenge.
With her usual deft touch, Rendell pulls the strands of the story together, weaving a taut and terrifying narrative
