‎Hutchinson 1973. Hardcover. New/New. <p><strong>Author:</strong> Ruth Rendell</p><p><strong>Publisher:</strong> Hutchinson</p><p><strong>Binding:</strong> Hardcover</p><p><strong>ISBN:</strong> 9780091150501</p><p><strong>Release Date:</strong> 1973</p><p><strong>Number Of Pages:</strong> 191</p><p><strong>Details:</strong> A mutilated body found at a rock festival.In spite of dire predictions the rock festival in Kingsmarkham seemed to be going off without a hitch until the hideously disfigured body is discovered in a nearby quarry. And soon Wexford is investigating the links between a local girl gone bad and a charismatic singer who inspires an unwholesome devotion in his followers. Some Lie and Some Die is a devilishly absorbing novel in which Wexford's deductive powers come up against the aloof arrogance of pop stardom. With her Inspector Wexford novels Ruth Rendell winner of the Mystery Writers of America Grand Master Award has added layers of depth realism and unease to the classic English mystery. For the canny tireless and unflappable policeman is an unblinking observer of human nature whose study has taught him that under certain circumstances the most unlikely people are capable of the most appalling crimes.</p> Hutchinson hardcover‎

‎The Lake of Darkness Signed‎

‎London: Hutchinson 1980. First. Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. <p>Ruth Rendell Baroness Rendell of Babergh CBE 1930 – 2015 was an English author of thrillers and psychological murder mysteries. She is best known for creating Chief Inspector Wexford. A second string of works was a series of unrelated crime novels that explored the psychological background of criminals and their victims. This theme was developed further in a third series of novels published under the pseudonym Barbara Vine.</p> <br /> <p>From Wikipedia:</p> <br /> <p>Set in the Highgate-Archway area of North London the novel's protagonist is Martin Urban a young accountant leading a comfortable complacent and rather dull bachelor life in his own flat attended by a peppery older male cleaner and visiting his doting parents regularly. When Martin unexpectedly wins a large sum of money in a football pool he shrinks from telling or sharing his win with one of his clients a dashing feckless actor he secretly admires but affects to disapprove of. It was this client who procured Martin the winning ticket. Instead Martin decides to give half the money away to personally-identified worthy causes all of whom to Martin's bemusement and dismay entirely misinterpret his gestures of generosity. Suddenly Francesca enters his life a mysterious young woman who works in a flower shop and captures his heart. He also meets Finn the self-sufficient twisted son of his mother's cleaning lady Lena a vulnerable eccentric absorbed in astrology crystals tarot and so on. Finn works as all-round handyman for a dodgy landlord who pays him to evict or murder sitting tenants from his rental properties. Martin's naivety and misplaced good intentions become fatally entangled with Finn's macabre madness and the machinations of others around Martin he completely fails to understand. The tragic outcome opens Martin's eyes and destroys his world.</p> <br /> <p>This copy is fine in black cloth with gilt titles on the spine. No marks or damage at all. The unclipped dust jacket has slight fading on the jacket spine. Signed by Rendell on the title page.</p> <br /> <p>An early somewhat uncommon Rendell title.</p> . AB19. Hutchinson hardcover‎
