A SPECTACULARLY COMPELLING STORY OF BLACKMAIL, MURDERS BOTH ACCIDENTAL AND OPPORTUNISTIC, AND ONE LIFE'S FATEFUL UNRAVELING-THIS IS THE FINAL NOVEL FROM RUTH RENDELL, "ONE OF THE MOST REMARK-ABLE NOVELISTS OF HER GENERATION" (PEOPLE).
When his father dies, Carl Martin inherits a house in an increasingly rich and trendy London neigh-borhood. Cash poor, Carl rents the upstairs room and kitchen to the first person he interviews, Dermot McKinnon. That is mistake number one. Mistake number two is keeping the bizarre collec-tion of homeopathic "cures" that his father left in the medicine cabinet, including a stash of contro-versial diet pills. Mistake number three is selling fifty of those diet pills to a friend, who is then found dead.
Dermot seizes a nefarious opportunity to blackmail Carl, refusing to pay rent and creepily invading Carl's space. Ingeniously weaving together two storylines, Rendell describes one man's spiral into darkness-and murder-as he falls victim to a diabolical foe he cannot escape.
This is masterful storytelling that gets under your skin, brilliant psychological suspense infused with Rendell's distinct blend of wry humor, acute observation, and deep humanity.
