"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.
