Blurb: He weaves a murderous spell...

Stephen Whalby is master of the moor. What others find bleak and foreboding, Stephen sees as reassuring and darkly beautiful. Then he finds the first victim on the moor-a young woman, strangled, with her blond hair shorn off at the scalp. When a second murdered woman is found, Stephen's sacred moor becomes a home for death, holding one final, fatal secret for him alone....

"A satisfying puzzle, well-drawn characters, and a haunting setting. But the quality that sets it apart is Rendell's imagination.

Her view from the window in the house of fiction is a very special one."
