'The Wexford books clearly display Rendell's great mastery of storytelling at its best' -- Sunday Telegraph 'Rendell's detective fiction stands almost alone as a chronicle of the dark side of modern life.' -- Independent 'Marvellous. Kept me guessing to the end' -- ***** Reader review 'Gripping from start to end' -- ***** Reader review 'What a wonderful whodunnit!' -- ***** Reader review 'Engrossing' -- ***** Reader review ************************************************************************ When a young, black woman goes missing in Kingsmarkham, Wexford must respond to a test not only of his powers of deduction, but of his basic beliefs and prejudices. Only eighteen black people live in Kingsmarkham. One of them is Wexford's new doctor, Raymond Akande. When the doctor's daughter, Melanie, goes missing, the Chief Inspector takes more than just a professional interest in the case. Melanie, just down from university but unable to find a job, disappeared somewhere between the Benefit Office and the bus stop. Or at least no one saw her get on the bus when it came. When the body of a young black woman is discovered, Wexford must overcome his underlying prejudices to allow his investigative skills to succeed. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Nur achtzehn Mitbürger schwarzer Hautfarbe gibt es in Kingsmarkham, und einer von ihnen ist Inspector Wexfords neuer Hausarzt: Dr. Raymond Akande. Als Melanie, die Tochter des Arztes spurlos verschwindet, bewegt den Inspector mehr als nur berufliches Interesse an dem Fall. Melanie hatte erst vor kurzem die Universität verlassen, und da sie arbeitslos war, hatte sie mehrmals beim Arbeitsamt vorgesprochen. Seit ihrem letzten Termin dort ist sie wie vom Erdboden verschluckt.Als kurz darauf eine junge schwarze Frau tot aufgefunden wird, geht Wexford wie selbstverständlich davon aus, daß es sich um die Tochter der Akandes handeln muß. Doch bei der Leiche handelt es sich gar nicht um die der vermißten Melanie.
