Der 25-jährige Philip lebt mit seinen beiden Schwestern noch bei seiner Mutter und führt ein unspektakuläres Leben. Aber das ändert sich, als seine jüngere Schwester heiratet: Philip verliebt sich Hals über Kopf in eine der fünf Brautjungfern. Zu seinem Erstaunen erwidert die schöne Senta seine Gefühle. Sie ist ebenso verführerisch wie geheimnisvoll — und sie lebt in einer bizarren Scheinwelt. Philip gerät in einen geradezu hypnotischen Sog von Leidenschaft und Erotik. Dabei bemerkt er zunächst kaum, dass auch seine Welt zunehmend aus den Fugen gerät. Bis Senta einen Liebesbeweis der ganz besonderen Art von ihm fordert: einen Mord...

A father's worst nightmare. It's first light and George Marshalson's daughter hasn't returned home. He doesn't yet know that she never will — that her body lies prone just yards from the family house. Or that he will himself make the shocking discovery. Chief Inspector Wexford has never known a case of a father finding the murdered body of his daughter. He has daughters of his own but can barely imagine himself in Mr Marshalson's position. Tasked with picking through the pieces of a shattered family, Wexford unearths some surprising secrets about the dead teenager's lifestyle. And when a second girl is found murdered — a victim unquestionably linked to the first — Wexford has to put his own family problems aside to tackle what will become of the most disturbing and emotional case of his career.

The Rottweiler	Random House, Inc.
Автор: Ruth Rendell Издательство: Random House, Inc., 2004	PDF, 384 страницы, 11.52 МБ 0 Оценка:
The first girl had a bite mark on her neck. When the tabloids got hold of the story, they immediately called the killer 'The Rottweiler', and the name stuck. The latest body was discovered very near Inez Ferry's antique shop in Marylebone. Someone spotted a shadowy figure running away past the station, but couldn't say for sure if it was a man or a woman. There were only two other clues. The murderer seemed to have a preference for strangling his victims and then removing something personal — like a cigarette lighter or a necklace... Since her actor husband died, too early into their marriage, Inez supplemented her modest income by taking in tenants above the shop. The unpredictably obsessive activities of 'The Rottweiler' would exert a profound influence on this heterogeneous little community, especially when the suspicion began to emerge that one of them might be a homicidal maniac.

It was better than a hotel, this anonymous room on a secluded side street of a small country town. No register to sign, no questions asked, and for five bucks a man could have three hours of undisturbed, illicit lovemaking. Then one evening a man with a knife turned the love nest into a death chamber. The carpet was soaked with blood — but where was the corpse? Meanwhile, a beautiful, promiscuous woman is missing — along with the bundle of cash she'd had in her pocket. The truth behind it all will keep even veteran mystery fans guessing through the very last page.

When Stuart Font decides to throw a house-warming party in his new flat, he invites all the people in his building. After some deliberation, he even includes the unpleasant caretaker and his wife. There are a few other genuine friends on the list, but he definitely does not want to include his girlfriend, Claudia, as that might involve asking her husband. The party will be one everyone remembers. But not for the right reasons. All the occupants of Lichfield House are about to experience a dramatic change in their lives... Living opposite, in reclusive isolation, is a young, beautiful Asian woman, christened Tigerlily by Stuart. As though from some strange urban fairytale, she emerges to exert a terrible spell. And Mr and Mrs Font, the worried parents, will have even more cause for concern about their handsome but hopelessly naive son. Darkly humorous, piercingly observant of human behaviour, Ruth Rendell has created here another compelling fable of our lives and crimes.
