"Paperback, Like New, clean, tight, unmarked, no spine or cover creases() Acid Row was the name the beleaguered inhabitants give to their 'sink' estate. A no-man's land of single mothers and fatherless children - where angry, alienated youth controls the streets. Into this battleground comes Sophie Morrison, a young doctor visiting a patient in Acid Row. Little does she know that she is entering the home of a known paedophile...and with reports circulating that a tormented child called Amy has disappeared, the vigilantes are out in force. Soon Sophie is trapped at the centre of a terrifying siege, with a man she has come to despise. Whipped to a frenzy by unsubstantiated rumour, the mob unleashes its hatred.

Minette Walters Disordered Minds
MacMillan 2003 1405034165 / 9781405034166 Hardcover Very Good
"'() ''The only factors that unite her works are her penchant for dark psychological perception: and their excellence'' - ''The Times''. In 1970, Harold Stamp, a retarded, reclusive twenty year-old was convicted on disputed evidence and a retracted confession of brutally murdering his grandmother - the one person who understood and protected him. Less than three years later he is dead, driven to suicide by isolation and despair. Jonathan Hughes, an anthropologist specialising in social stereotyping, is determined to re-examine this case. There were alarming disparities in the evidence and Hughes has little doubt that there has been a terrible miscarriage of justice. But there is also something else pushing this half-Iranian, half-Libyan outsider to reach for the truth...This is more than a mere expose of corruption, it is a dark tale of solitude and the relentless need to contain aberration and section evil. ''Minette Walters has stormed her way into crime fiction. With her first th'''' ID: mon0000081260"

Knopf 2006 0307264629 / 9780307264626 Hardcover Good
"ex-library (usual markings, stamps)() In each of her previous ten critically acclaimed and hugely popular novels, Minette Walters has explored the dark terrain of the human psyche to give us thrillers of exceptional psychological complexity and suspense. Now, in The Devil’s Feather, she gives us her most unexpected and electrifying novel yet. In 2002, five women are discovered barbarously murdered in Sierra Leone. Reuters Africa correspondent Connie Burns suspects a British mercenary: a man who seems to turn up in every war-torn corner of Africa, whose reputation for violence and brutality is well-founded and widely known. Connie’s suspicions that he’s using the chaos of war to act out sadistic, misogynistic fantasies fall on deaf ears—but she’s determined to expose him and his secret. The consequences are devastating. Connie encounters the man again in Baghdad, but almost immediately she’s taken hostage. Released after three desperate days, terrified and traumatized by the experi ID: mon0000087474"

McClelland & Stewart 2000 0771087578 / 9780771087578 Unbound Like New
"tight, unmarked, some light cover edge handling,() Minette Walters is as much exterminator as novelist. With uncomfortable accuracy, her novels bring to the surface those creepy, crawly parts of the human psyche that most of us would rather keep hidden. Articulate, clever, and acutely observant, she eschews the standard trappings of psychological suspense and presents characters both vulnerable and deeply unpleasant. Twenty years ago, M. Ranelagh found her Graham Road neighbor dying in a gutter. ID: mon0000087358"
