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. From Wikipedia: Pup Yearman, a 16-year-old who lives in a rundown area of London, experiments with magic. Dolly, Pup's older sister, does more than just dabble in magic. Dolly is deformed due to a facial birthmark, and her fixation with Pup's magic takes her on a perilous downhill trajectory into uncertainty, madness, and maybe murder. In the meantime, a young Irishman sharpens a set of butcher knives in a run-down boardinghouse nearby. This copy is fine in black cloth with gilt titles on the spine. No marks or damage at all. NOT ex-library. Signed by Rendell on the title page. . BI19.
