Ruth Rendell, the popular British crime novelist, writes superbly crafted psychological thrillers under the Vine pseudonym (A Dark-Adapted Eye, The Chimney Sweeper's Boy). Her tenth Vine novel takes us into the lonely life of 19-year-old Clodagh Brown in Maida Vale, a fictional north London suburb. Haunted by tragedy in her young life, she befriends a group of equally damaged and alienated youths. Their nocturnal habit is to climb onto the roof and roam on the tops of buildings, from one to another. It is all a daring adventure, until the motives of the various characters collide. Thick with atmosphere and tension, Vine's work reveals details and hints at secrets while pulling the reader into an architectural web of suspense.
