**************************************************************** In
traditional fairy tales the handsome prince rescues the beautiful
princess from her wicked stepmother, and the couple live happily
ever after. Teddy Brex emerges from a loveless, isolated childhood
as a handsome but autistic young man. Francine Hill, emotionally
and mentally scarred by the murder of her mother, grows into a
beautiful young woman, who must endure the over-protectiveness of
an increasingly obsessive stepmother. Teddy Brex does ride to her
rescue, but he is a man who has already committed two murders. In
Rendell's dark criminal London, can anyone be trusted? It's a world
in which innocent dreams can turn into the most terrible living
nightmares...
