About the Book
Three-time Best Novel Edgar Award winner Ruth Rendell is an expert when it comes to building suspense and skillfully managing misdirection.
Val McDermid writes “Ruth Rendell is, I believe, unique among British crime writers. No-one can equal her range or her accomplishment; no-one has earned more respect from her fellow practitioners. The broad church that is current British crime writing owes much to a writer who has over her thirty-four year career consistently demonstrated that the genre can continually reinvent itself, moving in new directions, assuming new concerns and exploring new ways of telling stories
By the time you´re a few chapters into her Adam and Eve and Pinch Me -- just when you are likely to be congratulating yourself for realizing that Jock Lewis, Jerry Leach, and Jeff Leigh are all the same man -- you´ll also realize that the con man with so many names isn´t the real mystery here at all. This man -- let´s call him JL -- has, indeed, tricked three women out of their savings and faked his own death, twice, before his latest disappearance. But the three victims of JL´s sordid schemes are also connected in another, far more dangerous, way: These three women will be as astonished as anyone to discover that the darkest tie that binds them isn´t JL, it´s a string of bloody murders that have the great city of London in a panic…and the real mystery is about to unfold.
Ruth Rendell is one of seven RosettaBooks authors (including Agatha Christie, Rex Stout, P.D. James, Ed McBain, Donald Westlake and W. R. Burnett) to be honored by the Mystery Writers of America as a Grand Master
