Chief Inspector Reg Wexford has retired from the crime force. He and his wife, Dora, now divide their time between Kingsmarkham and a coachhouse in Hampstead, belonging to their actress daughter, Sheila.\n\n\nWexford takes great pleasure in his books, but, for all the benefits of a more relaxed lifestyle, he misses being the hand of the law.\n\n\nBut a chance meeting in a London street, with someone he had known briefly as a very young police constable, changes everything. Tom Ede is now a Detective Superintendent, and is very keen to recruit Wexford as an adviser on a mysterious murder case.\n\n\nThe bodies of two women and a man have been discovered in the old coal hole of an attractive house in St John's Wood. None of the corpses carry identification. But the man's jacket pockets contain a string of pearls, a diamond and a sapphire necklace as well as other jewellery valued in the region of £40,000.\n\n\nTo Wexford, this is definitely a case worth coming out of retirement for. He is intrigued and excited by the challenge, but unaware that this new investigative role will bring him into extreme physical danger...\n\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rendell, Ruth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41820127133773,"sku":"CONF20250526020","price":49.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0557\/3856\/4685\/files\/9780091937119_20250518_092311.jpg?v=1748264021","url":"https:\/\/readmatter.co.za\/products\/buy-the-vault-ruth-rendell-conf20250526020","provider":"Readmatter","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
