About this Item

Hardback. First Edition. Very slight shelf wear to edges of D/J. The building of a new road, particularly one which would destroy rural habits unchanged for years, was certain to divide the local community. Without any hesitation, Dora Wexford joined the committee of KABAL, Kingsmarkham Against the By-Pas and Landfill. The Deputy Chief Constable had got to hear of it and was quick to express the hope that Wexford wasn't thinking of joining, as there was going to be trouble. It didn't take long for the environmental groups to arrive - from Friends of the Earth, a representative from the Royal Society of Entomologists, to a woman naked underneath a sandwich board which read No, No, No to the Rape of Savesbury. 328 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.).

Review

Nobody has a better ear for the whine of the unloved and underappreciated than Ruth Rendell. Early in this Inspector Wexford adventure, a young woman who was bound and gagged during a robbery demands victim counseling; not long after, families of some people taken hostage quickly cluster themselves into a support group. The titular "road rage" is equally timely and politically correct: protestors have gathered from around the world to stop, by whatever means they can, a new motorway that will cut through some of the woods surrounding Wexford's fictional but endearing village of Kingsmarkham.
