Road Rage

Road Rage
By Ruth Rendell
Crown Publishers Inc, 1997. 400 pgs. Mystery

The construction of a new highway through Framhurst Great Wood has environmentalists up in arms bringing protests to the small town of Kingsmarkham. All the while Inspector Wexford is investigating two missing persons cases that might be related to each other. Then things accelerate when Inspector Wexford receives a call from his daughter saying that his wife never arrived at the train station to visit her. His suspicions that his wife has been kidnapped are confirmed when he receives the ransom demand—stop the construction of the new highway.

Though this is book seventeen in the Inspector Wexford series, it can be read and enjoyed on its own without reading the others.
