From a New York Times–bestselling author: A terrifying psychological thriller that dives deep into the mind of a sexual predator.
In a remote corner of London, a woman is walking her dog when a man grabs her from behind. She screams, and her attacker flees, escaping into a nearby house, where he finds another victim. Victor Jenner has a compulsion he does not understand—to grab women, to hurt them—and he also has a gun. When it goes off, grievously wounding a police officer, it marks the beginning of a long stretch in jail for Victor.
Released ten years later, Victor meets the young policeman he shot—and falls head over heels for the officer's girlfriend. Back on the street, Victor is torn between the desire to live a better life and the knowledge that he will soon give in to his most evil yearnings.
The winner of three Edgar Awards, Ruth Rendell was one of the most celebrated thriller authors of the twentieth century. Live Flesh is "a superb work [and] a compelling psychological portrait" of a dark mind ( Philadelphia Daily News).
