Addicted to opium and tormented by sexual desire, he finds temporary refuge in a dilapidated old mansion on the southern English coast inhabited by his newly impoverished mother and his sister, Effie. Soon, graphic and threatening letters begin to circulate among his neighbors, and Richard finds himself the leading suspect in a series of crimes and misdemeanors ranging from vivisection to murder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAtmospheric, lurid, and brilliantly executed, \u003ci\u003eRustication\u003c\/i\u003e is sure to spin readers into its \"spider's web of intrigue and violence\" (Jane Jakeman, \u003ci\u003eThe Independent\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCharle Palliser\u003c\/b\u003e was born in Massachusetts, but has lived in the UK since the age of three.
