Winner The Crime Writers' Association Dagger Awards / Gold Dagger 1986
'Compelling, disturbing and masterfully written.'
The Times
A chilling insight into the mind of the criminally insane, from one of the world's greatest crime writers.
All his life, for almost as far back as he could remember, Victor had had a phobia. In prison, inevitably, he reflected on the grotesque way it had begun, about the panics and violent anger. He asked himself, too, why the child of happily married, middle-class parents should have needed to make motiveless and unreasoning attacks on women ...
After 10 years in prison for shooting – and permanently crippling – a young policeman, Victor Jenner is released to a strange new world and told to make a new life for himself. It's hard to fill the days, but at least there's one blessing – he was never convicted for all those rapes he committed. Then Victor meets David, the policeman he shot, and David's beautiful girlfriend, Clare. And suddenly Victor's new life is starting to look an awful lot like the old one.
'Ruth Rendell shows an unparalleled understanding of human evil.'
Sunday Times
'Powerfully claustrophobic.'
