A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Ruth Rendell was an exceptional crime writer, and will be remembered as a legend in her own lifetime. Her groundbreaking debut novel, From Doon With Death, was first published in 1964 and introduced the reader to her enduring and popular detective, Inspector Reginald Wexford, who went on to feature in twenty-four of her subsequent novels.

With worldwide sales of approximately 20 million copies, Rendell was a regular Sunday Times bestseller. Her sixty bestselling novels include police procedurals, some of which have been successfully adapted for TV, stand-alone psychological mysteries, and a third strand of crime novels under the pseudonym Barbara Vine. Very much abreast of her times, the Wexford books in particular often engaged with social or political issues close to her heart.

Rendell won numerous awards, including the Crime Writers’ Association Gold Dagger for 1976’s best crime novel with A Demon in My View, a Gold Dagger award for Live Flesh in 1986, and the Sunday Times Literary Award in 1990. In 2013 she was awarded the Crime Writers’ Association Cartier Diamond Dagger for sustained excellence in crime writing. In 1996 she was awarded the CBE and in 1997 became a Life Peer.

Ruth Rendell died in May 2015. Her final novel, Dark Corners, is scheduled for publication in October 2015

Quatrième de couverture

A JUDGEMENT IN STONE. If the Coverdale family had been less desperate for help, they might never have employed Eunice Parchman. If they had treated her less kindly, she might never have hated them. If they had never discovered her terrible secret, they might not have been murdered on the 14th February. But the tragedy neither began nor ended on St Valentine's Day...

A DEMON IN MY VIEW. Her white race, beautiful and flawless, stared blankly back at him. He fancied that she cringed, but he didn't speak. He knew only how to do one thing to women and, advancing, he did it now. It was a great comfort to know she would always be there, ready to die for him again and again. But one day she wasn't waiting, wasn't there...
