Series: Wexford

The twentieth book in the bestselling Detective Chief Inspector Wexford series, from the author of classic detective fiction and gripping psychological thrillers including End in Tears and Thirteen Steps Down.

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.

As a man with a strained father-daughter relationship himself, Wexford must struggle to keep his professional life as a detective separate from his personal life as husband and father. Particularly when a second teenage girl is murdered - a victim unquestionably linked to the first - and another family is shattered...

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 *
