Best of all for Wexford fans, the book affords some terrific moments between the retired sleuth and Burden.\" \u003ci\u003eBoston Globe\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e     Sarah Hussain was not popular with many people in the community of Kingsmarkham. She was born of mixed parentage--a white Irishwoman and an immigrant Indian Hindu. She was also the Reverend of St Peter's Church.\u003cbr\u003eBut it comes as a profound shock to everyone when she is found strangled in the Vicarage.\u003cbr\u003e     A garrulous cleaner, Maxine, also shared by the Wexfords, discovers the body. In his comparatively recent retirement, the former Detective Chief Inspector is devoting much time to reading, and is deep into Edward Gibbon's \u003ci\u003eThe Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire\u003c\/i\u003e. He has little patience with Maxine's prattle.\u003cbr\u003e     But when his old friend Mike Burden asks if he might like to assist on this case as Crime Solutions Adviser (unpaid), Wexford is obliged to pay more precise attention to all available information.\u003cbr\u003e     The old instincts have not been blunted by a life where he and Dora divide their time between London and Kingsmarkham. Wexford retains a relish for solving puzzles and a curiosity about people which is invaluable in detective work.\u003cbr\u003e     For all his experience and sophistication, Burden tends to jump to conclusions. But he is wise enough to listen to the man whose office he inherited, and whose experience makes him a most formidable ally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003eRUTH RENDELL has won many awards, including the Crime Writers' Association Gold Dagger for 1976's best crime novel with \u003ci\u003eA Demon in My View\u003c\/i\u003e; a second Edgar in 1984 from the Mystery Writers of America for the best short story, \"The New Girl Friend\"; and a Gold Dagger award for \u003ci\u003eLive Flesh\u003c\/i\u003e in 1986.
