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

The sixteenth book to feature the classic crime-solving detective, Chief Inspector Wexford.
When a young, black woman goes missing in Kingsmarkham, Wexford must respond to a test not only of his powers of deduction, but of his basic beliefs and prejudices.
Only eighteen black people live in Kingsmarkham. One of them is Wexford's new doctor, Raymond Akande. When the doctor's daughter, Melanie, goes missing, the Chief Inspector takes more than just a professional interest in the case.
Melanie, just down from university but unable to find a job, disappeared somewhere between the Benefit Office and the bus stop. Or at least no one saw her get on the bus when it came...
When the body of a young black woman is discovered, Wexford must overcome his underlying prejudices to allow his investigative skills to succeed.

Description du livre Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Nur achtzehn Mitbürger schwarzer Hautfarbe gibt es in Kingsmarkham, und einer von ihnen ist Inspector Wexfords neuer Hausarzt: Dr. Raymond Akande. Als Melanie, die Tochter des Arztes spurlos verschwindet, bewegt den Inspector mehr als nur berufliches Interesse an dem Fall. Melanie hatte erst vor kurzem die Universität verlassen, und da sie arbeitslos war, hatte sie mehrmals beim Arbeitsamt vorgesprochen. Seit ihrem letzten Termin dort ist sie wie vom Erdboden verschluckt.Als kurz darauf eine junge schwarze Frau tot aufgefunden wird, geht Wexford wie selbstverständlich davon aus, daß es sich um die Tochter der Akandes handeln muß. Doch bei der Leiche handelt es sich gar nicht um die der vermißten Melanie. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780099437314
