About this Item

Ruth Rendell, Baroness Rendell of Babergh, CBE (1930 2015) was an English author of thrillers and psychological murder mysteries. She is best known for creating Chief Inspector Wexford. A second string of works was a series of unrelated crime novels that explored the psychological background of criminals and their victims. This theme was developed further in a third series of novels, published under the pseudonym Barbara Vine. This title was her first published book, and thus had a relatively small print run. As a result, it is quite scarce in jacket, and signed copies are exceedingly uncommon and sought after. Many of her early books went to libraries in the UK and not to public sale. This copy is ex-library but the only traces are a light ink stamp on the copyright page, and a slight mark on the front flyleaf where a label was removed. There is what appears to be a small water stain on the page fore edge, but it does not intrude into the pages themselves. The book is otherwise in excellent condition with no other marks or damage. The unclipped dust jacket is also excellent, with just slight edge wear and minor spotting on the jacket rear panel. Signed by Rendell on the title page. .
