A series of apparently motiveless murders disrupts the lives of
some very different people in Rendell's darkly atmospheric London.
The first victim was discovered with a bite on her neck. The police
traced the DNA to the girl's boyfriend, but the tabloids had
already dubbed the murderer "The Rottweiler," and the name stuck.
The latest body was found near Inez Ferry's shop in Marylebone.
Someone spotted a figure fleeing into the shadows, but couldn't say
even if it was man or woman. The only other clues are the
murderer's penchant for strangling his prey, and for then removing
a small token -- a necklace, a lighter.
To make ends meet, widowed Inez Ferry takes in tenants above her
antique store. The unpredictable and obsessive acts of the serial
murderer begin profoundly to disturb the lives of the heterogeneous
little community of lodgers, especially when suspicion grows that
one of them might be "The Rottweiler."
