Описание: A spectacularly creepy and macabre tale ("Entertainment Weekly") of blackmail, murders both accidental and opportunistic, and of one life s fateful unraveling from Ruth Rendell, one of the most remarkable novelists of her generation ("People"), writing at her most mesmerizing. Rendell completed "Dark Corners" shortly before her death in 2015.
When his father dies, Carl Martin inherits a house in an increasingly rich and trendy London neighborhood. Cash poor, Carl rents the upstairs room and kitchen to the first person he interviews, Dermot McKinnon. That is mistake number one. Mistake number two is keeping the bizarre collection of homeopathic and alternative cures that his father left in the medicine cabinet, including a stash of controversial diet pills. Mistake number three is selling fifty of those diet pills to a friend, who is then found dead.
Dermot seizes a nefarious opportunity and begins to blackmail Carl, refusing to pay rent, and creepily invading Carl s space. Ingeniously weaving together two storylines that finally merge in a shocking turn, Ruth Rendell describes one man s spiral into darkness and murder as he falls victim to a diabolical foe he cannot escape.
This is brilliant psychological suspense that gets under your skin. As Stephen King says, No one surpasses Ruth Rendell when it comes to stories of obsession, instability, and malignant coincidence. "Dark Corners," her last book, ranks among her best ("The Washington Post")."

Описание: The long title story is about a man whose life, in a sense, is a book. The second novella, High Mysterious Union, explores a strange, erotic universe in a dream-like corner of rural England, and illustrates very atmospherically what range Ruth Rendell has as a writer, expanding beyond her famous sphere of crime writing.

Описание: INCLUDES AN EXCERPT OF RENDELL S FINAL NOVEL, "DARK CORNERS"
From crime legend Ruth Rendell, a psychologically intriguing novel about an old murder that sends shockwaves across a group of astonishingly carnal and appetiteful elderly friends: Refined, probing, and intelligent never less than a pleasure ("USA TODAY").
In the waning months of the second World War, a group of children discover a tunnel in their neighborhood outside London. For that summer of 1944, the subterranean space becomes their secret garden, where the friends play games, tell their fortunes, and perform for each other.
Six decades later, construction workers make a grisly discovery beneath a house on the same land: a tin box containing two skeletal hands, one male and one female. As the hands make national news, the friends come together once again, to recall their long ago days for a detective. Then the police investigation sputters, and the threads holding their friendship together begin to unravel. Is the truth buried amid the tangled relationships of these aging men and women and their memories? Will it emerge before it s too late?
Stephen King says, no one surpasses Ruth Rendell when it comes to stories of obsession, instability, and malignant coincidence. In "The Girl Next Door" yet another gem ("The Washington Post") Rendell brilliantly shows that the choices people make, and the emotions behind them, remain as potent in late life as they were in youth. Rendell s wit, always mordant, has never been sharper than when she skewers patronizing assumptions about the elderly ("Chicago Tribune")."

Описание:

The dazzling new novel from Ruth Rendell. When the bones of two severed hands are discovered in a box, an investigation into a long buried crime of passion begins. And a group of friends, who played together as children, begin to question their past.

'For Woody, anger was cold. Cold and slow. But once it had started it mounted gradually and he could think of nothing else.

He knew he couldn't stay alive while those two were alive. Instead of sleeping, he lay awake in the dark and saw those hands. Anita's narrow white hand with the long nails painted pastel pink, the man's brown hand equally shapely, the fingers slightly splayed.'

Before the advent of the Second World War, beneath the green meadows of Loughton, Essex, a dark network of tunnels has been dug.

A group of children discover them. They play there. It becomes their secret place.

Seventy years on, the world has changed.

Developers have altered the rural landscape. Friends from a half-remembered world have married, died, grown sick, moved on or disappeared.

Work on a new house called Warlock uncovers a grisly secret, buried a lifetime ago, and a weary detective, more preoccupied with current crimes, must investigate a possible case of murder.

In all her novels, Ruth Rendell digs deep beneath the surface to investigate the secrets of the human psyche. The interconnecting tunnels of Loughton in THE GIRL NEXT DOOR lead to no single destination.

But the relationships formed there, and the incidents that occurred, exert a profound influence - not only on the survivors but in unearthing the true nature of the mysterious past.
