- Kort biografi
- Ruth Barbara Rendell, née Grasemann, was the only child of two schoolteachers. She got her first job as a reporter for a South Woodford newspaper and married her boss, editor Don Rendell, at age 20. The couple had one son. She published her first novel, From Doon with Death, in 1964. Ms. Rendell was a prolific writer of police procedurals and psychological suspense/crime novels exploring such themes as romantic obsession, family secrets, miscommunication, and the impact of chance and coincidence. After years of writing such critically acclaimed works and receiving many awards, in 1986 she created the pseudonym Barbara Vine. The Barbara Vine novels are more oblique and have a recurring theme of consequences from events that occurred in the past. She was made a life peer as Baroness Rendell of Babergh in 1997.

En kvinde i nabolaget Joy Williams beder kriminalinspektør Wexford om hjælp til at finde sin mand, Ron Williams. Han er sælger og har været væk i en uges tid. Wexford tænker at manden er stukket af med en anden og at gåden mest består i grunden til at manden har holdt konen ud så længe. De har to voksne børn, datteren Sara og sønnen Kevin.
