Synopsis :

Babysnatching is one thing but Babyswapping? Inspector Wexford had not previously encountered the phenomenon of one ginger haired baby in its pram being swapped for another of the opposite sex. But novelty was only one aspect of a crime which came eventually to reveal a far more sinister range of characteristics.Darkly imagined and beautifully observed,Ruth Rendells stories reveal her startling insights into the criminal mind.
