Rent End in Tears (Vintage Crime/Black Lizard)

Synopsis

The 20th mystery in Ruth Rendell's Chief Inspector Wexford series focuses on the relationship between parent and child, and the odd iterations of modern family life. When an 18-year-old mother is brutally murdered and her pregnant friend is soon found dead as well, Inspector Wexford is on the case, delving for the first time into the world of unwed motherhood, single-parent childrearing, and a sinister business enterprise that quite literally sells babies for profit.
