Our next title will be Monster in the Box by Ruth Rendell
"The Monster in the Box is the latest addition to Ruth Rendell's classic and beguiling Inspector Wexford series. In this new book, Rendell takes Inspector Wexford back to his days as a young policeman, and to the man he has long suspected of murder - serial murder."
"Outside the house where Wexford investigated his first murder case - a woman found strangled in her bedroom - he noticed a short, muscular man wearing a scarf and walking a dog. He gave Wexford an unnerving stare. Without any solid evidence, Wexford began to suspect that this man was the killer."
"Over the years there are more unsolved, apparently motiveless murders in the town of Kingsmarkham, and Wexford continues to quietly suspect that the increasingly prosperous Targo, van driver, property developer, kennel owner, and animal lover - is behind them." "Now, half a lifetime later, Wexford spots Targo back in Kingsmarkham after a long absence." --Book jacket.
