A young man spots his fiancées double in a public park of ill repute. An executive visits the secluded home of a former employee whose intentions are frightfully unclear. A modest soul weds the woman he rescues from suicide-only to fall victim to an unfathomable form of possessiveness...In the eleven tales gathered in The Fallen Curtain, Ruth Rendell-the grande dame of the literary mystery-lays bare the twisted inner workings of the unbalanced mind. Here are eleven tales of haunting psychological accuracy: the gesture that betrays a parent's madness, the childhood memory clouded with denial, the utterance that introduces the threat of violence in a situation as benign as a dinner date. Instantly engaging, maddeningly addictive, The Fallen Curtain testifies to the enduring talents of a master of the genre.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51819574690080,"sku":"NEW0375704922","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61KFr9gEoeL.jpg?v=1781134724","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/fallen-curtain-the-0375704922","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
