No Man`s Nightingale

Производитель: "Неизвестный"

No Man`s Nightingale: the eagerly anticipated twenty-fourth title in Ruth Rendell`s bestselling Detective Chief Inspector Wexford series. The woman vicar of St Peter`s Church may not be popular among the community of Kingsmarkham. But it still comes as a profound shock when she is found strangled in her vicarage. Inspector Wexford is retired, but he retains a relish for solving mysteries especially when they are as close to home as this one is. So when he`s asked whether he will assist on the case, he readily agrees. But why did the vicar die? And is anyone else in Kingsmarkham in danger? What Wexford doesn`t know is that the killer is far closer than he, or anyone else, thinks. ISBN:9780099585855

Rendell, Ruth

▪ British author
in full  Ruth Barbara Rendell, Baroness Rendell of Babergh , original surname  Grasemann , pseudonym  Barbara Vine 
born Feb. 17, 1930, London, Eng.

      British writer of mystery novels, psychological crime novels, and short stories.

      Rendell worked as a reporter and copy editor for West Essex newspapers. Her first novel, From Doon with Death (1964), introduced Reginald Wexford, the clever chief inspector of a town in southeastern England, and his more stodgy associate Mike Burden. The pair appear in more than 20 further novels of police procedure, among them No More Dying Then (1971), An Unkindness of Ravens (1985), The Veiled One (1988), Road Rage (1997), The Babes in the Wood (2002), and Not in the Flesh (2007). In 1990 the Wexford stories were first adapted for television.

      In time Rendell's psychological thrillers became at least as popular as her Wexford novels. The thrillers present the inner lives of complex characters as they move incrementally toward violent actions. Sexual obsession, immaturity, exaggerated fantasy lives, and the gap between parent and child are recurring elements in novels such as A Judgement in Stone (1977), The Lake of Darkness (1980), Talking to Strange Men (1987), and The Bridesmaid (1989). Rendell also wrote tense short stories such as the Edgar Award-winning “The New Girl Friend” and the collection Blood Lines: Long and Short Stories (1995). She produced several novels under her pseudonym, including King Solomon's Carpet (1991), The Brimstone Wedding (1995), Grasshopper (2000), and The Birthday Present (2008). Her other works include The Crocodile Bird (1993), The Keys to the Street (1996), The Rottweiler (2003), and The Water's Lovely (2006). Rendell was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1996 and was made a life peer in 1997.
