Summary:
"In these two Inspector Wexford specials, the kindly, compassionate detective investigates the disappearance of his doctor's daughter and an environmental protest that goes horribly wrong. As always, award-winning writer Ruth Rendell weaves incisive social observation into her compelling plots, showing why critics and fans regard her as the reigning queen of the British literary mystery. Simisola: Simisola: Chief Inspector Wexford's Nigerian-born physician asks the detective to look into the abrupt disappearance of his 22-year-old daughter. The trail eventually leads Wexford (George Baker) and DI Mike Burden (
Christopher
Ravenscroft
) to two murders, and the investigators grapple with an emotionally charged case complicated by racial and class misunderstandings. Road rage: While environmental activists disrupt the construction of a highway bypass, the body of a missing German tourist turns up in the woods, strangled and sexually assaulted. As clashes between protesters and security forces escalate into violence, a radical group engineers a series of kidnappings, with Wexford's beloved wife among the hostages."--Container.
