Synopsis
Anita Margolis has vanished. But with no body and no apparent crime, there's seemingly nothing for Inspector Wexford to investigate.
Anita Margolis has vanished. Dark and exquisite, Anita's character is as mysterious as her disappearance. But with no body and no apparent crime, seemingly there's nothing to be investigated.
Until Wexford receives an anonymous note claiming "a girl called Ann" was killed the very night Anita disappeared. But how seriously should they take the note?
With only one questionable lead to follow, Wexford and Inspector Burden are compelled to make enquiries. They soon discover Anita is wealthy, flighty, and thoroughly immoral. Burden has a very clear idea of what has happened to her. But Wexford has his own suspicions.

Dark and exquisite, Anita's character is as mysterious as her disappearance. There was no body, no crime - nothing more concrete than an anonymous letter and the intriguing name of Smith. According to headquarters, it wasn't to be considered a murder enquiry at all. With the letter providing them with only one questionable lead to follow, Wexford and his sidekick Inspector Burden are compelled to make enquiries. They soon discover Anita is wealthy, flighty, and thoroughly passionate and immoral. The straight-laced Burden has a very clear idea of what happened to her. But Wexford has his own suspicions. He knows that passion can be lethal. Wolf to the Slaughter is the third book to feature the classic crime-solving detective, Chief Inspector Wexford. You can continue to read about him in The Best Man to Die. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine.
