Bloodlines: Long and Short Stories
by Ruth Rendell
Category: Fiction

Wexford has a headache: no-one seems to have witnessed the murder, and there is no evidence of any grudges being held against the victim. Nevertheless, the statements of the locals just don't make sense. It is up to Wexford to track down the rat. Whilst he is doing so, a series of hit-and-runs afflict the town centre. Is there a link? Part of the Storycuts series, this short story was previously published in the collection Blood Lines.
