Harriet WalterRuth RendellRichard BraveryFirst published 19863 editions

The first book Rendell wrote as Barbara Vine. A personal exploration into the past, searching for the truth that led Vera Hillyard to commit the violent murder for which she is hanged. The story unfolds slowly, painfully, full of secrets and lies. Dark, claustrophobic, and chilling.
