Ruth Rendell
Adam and Eve and Pinch Me
Rendell interconnects far-flung lives with a series of vicious murders: from a decent-hard-working cop who unwittingly helps out a serial killer; to the Conservative member of Parliament whose marriage of convenience is about to be splashed across the tabloids; to the latch-key kids who discover a grisly murder weapon; to the radio talk-show host whose obsessive distaste for food has become life threatening.
