Rendell's seventeenth Chief Inspector Reg Wexford mystery blends his heretofore unacknowledged racial bias with changes in his small town of Kingsmarkham in Suffolk. Wexford is asked to look for the missing daughter of his physician, Dr. Raymond Akande, who is a black man and with whom he also socializes. When two women are found dead, and a third found beaten and unconscious, Wexford jumps to the conclusion that one of them is the missing daughter - it isn't. Fine / fine. Item #467
