by Ruth Rendell
THE COPPER PEACOCK contains nine short stories--eight tales packed with psychological suspense (the author's trademark) and one classic detective story featuring Chief Inspector Reginald Wexford. <P>The title story concerns a narcissistic scholar. He fixates on a woman he considers socially beneath him. His dilemma is painful, as is its resolution. <P>"Ruth Rendell's mastery of the short story genre is unsurpassed...her mesmerizing ability to shock, chill and disturb, unmatched." (The London Times)
