Ruth Rendell
Master of the Moor

Master of the Moor

The miserable area of Vangmoor was a dark, forbidding place. One victim had been found there, blonde her face disfigured, her head shorn close to the scalp – killed without motive or mercy. Then a second woman went missing on the moor, and a sense of absolute fear absorbed the fifty local men who searched for her. Someone watched them in that treacherous place. Was he a killer? Or was he merely angry that a killer had usurped him? For he, and only he, was Master of the Moor.
