Title: Regent's Park - Ruth Rendell - book
Summary :
To save a stranger suffering from leukemia, Mary agreed to donate bone marrow. Her friend, Alistair, refused, and left her. Left alone, Mary moved to the edge of Regent's Park, where she looks after a house belonging to friends. There, she meets Leo, the man she saved. Funny, tender, and sensitive, he could well be the soul mate she's been waiting for...
However, a sadistic killer is prowling Regent's Park, impaling his homeless victims on the railings.
Regent's Park is the true character of this novel, with its mysteries, its hiding places, its nocturnal fauna, its changing atmospheres. Ruth Rendell has populated it with wounded people, stripped of their illusions or rejected by a ruthless society.
And in this mysterious, disturbing London of exclusion and poverty, she developed one of her most distressing intrigues.
