Wolf to the Slaughter (Inspector Wexford #3) ~ Paperback ~ Ruth Rendell

Anita Margolis has vanished. Dark and exquisite, Anita's character is as mysterious as her disappearance. But with no body and no apparent crime, seemingly there's nothing to be investigated. Until Wexford receives an anonymous note claiming 'a girl called Ann' was killed the very night Anita disappeared. With only one questionable lead to follow, Wexford and Inspector Burden are compelled to make inquiries. They soon discover Anita is wealthy, flighty, and thoroughly immoral. Burden has a very clear idea of what has happened to her. But Wexford has his own suspicions...
