Crime can reach any town. Murder can touch any family

The twentieth book to feature the classic crime-solving detective, Chief Inspector Wexford.

A lump of concrete dropped deliberately from a little stone bridge over a relatively unfrequented road kills the wrong person. The young woman in the car behind is spared. But only for a while...

A few weeks later, George Marshalson lives every father's worst nightmare- he discovers the murdered body of his eighteen-year-old daughter on the side of the road.

Reviews for End In Tears: (A Wexford Case)

[Rendell] is unequalled in her ability to create amoral, unprincipled characters, then to make us pity them, until they do something terrible. * Observer * Rendell's gift for characterisation illuminates every interview with a range of suspects and makes it a pleasure to watch Wexford and burden at work. * Sunday Telegraph * End In Tears proved once again that no British novelist knows the heart's hungers like Ruth Rendell. -- Christopher Bray * New Statesman * Probably the greatest living crime writer in the world * Ian Rankin * Chief Inspector Wexford is Rendell's most enduring and best creation * Daily Telegraph *
