"Die düstere Seite von Notting Hill An einem strahlenden Londoner Frühlingsmorgen stolpert der Kunsthändler Eugene Wren auf der Portobello Road über einen prall mit Geldscheinen gefüllten Umschlag. Anstatt den Fund der Polizei zu melden, begibt er sich selbst auf die Suche nach dem rechtmässigen Besitzer. Eugene ahnt nichts von den Konsequenzen, die seine Entscheidung haben wird. Denn als zwei völlig unterschiedliche Männer, die sich beide als Eigentümer des Geldes ausgeben, in sein Leben treten, ist plötzlich nichts mehr wie zuvor ... Ruth Rendell wurde 1930 in South Woodford/London geboren. Zunächst arbeitete sie als Journalistin, bevor sie sich ganz dem Schreiben von Romanen widmete. Seitdem hat sie über dreissig Bücher veröffentlicht. Dreimal bereits erhielt sie den Edgar-Allan-Poe-Preis und zweimal den Golden Dagger Award. 1997 wurde sie mit dem Grand Master Award der Crime Writers' Association of America, dem renommiertesten Krimipreis, ausgezeichnet und darüber hinaus von Königin Elizabeth II. in den Adelsstand erhoben. Ruth Rendell, die auch unter dem Pseudonym Barbara Vine bekannt ist, lebt in London."

"The Portobello area of West London is vibrant with an edge of danger. There is nothing safe about Portobello ... Eugene Wren was fifty, secretive, and the owner of an art gallery in Kensington Church Street. He'd reduced his alcohol and cigarette consumption - he was, after all, going out with a doctor. But there was something he kept from her ... When he found an envelope in the street, stuffed with money, he posted a note on a lamppost: 'Found ... between eighty and a hundred and sixty pounds. Anyone who has lost ... should apply to the phone number below.' This note would link the lives of very different people - each with their obsessions, and problems. And through it all the hectic life of Portobello would bustle on."

"Nadat een man een hartaanval heeft gekregen op Portobello Road in Londen en een envelop met geld heeft verloren, raken de levens van diverse mensen daardoor met elkaar verweven."
"Walking to the shops one day, fifty-year-old Eugene Wren discovers an envelope on the street bulging with cash. A man plagued by a shameful addiction--and his own good intentions--Wren hatches a plan to find the money's rightful owner. Instead of going to the police, or taking the cash for himself, he prints a notice and posts it around Portobello Road. This ill-conceived act creates a chain of events that links Wren to other Londoners--people afflicted with their own obsessions and despairs. As these volatile characters come into Wren's life--and the life of his trusting fiancee--the consequences will change them all. "Portobello "is a wonderfully complex tour de force featuring a dazzling depiction of one of London's most intriguing neighbourhoods--and the dangers beneath its newly posh veneer."

"La quatrième de couverture indique : "Eugene Wren, galeriste londonien réputé, ramasse un jour, par hasard, une enveloppe pleine de billets de banque. Au lieu de la remettre à la police, son goût du secret l'amène à coller une affichette près de sa maison dans le quartier de Portobello. Cette annonce anodine en apparence, qu'Eugene cache à sa fiancée, en même temps que ses autres obsessions, va déclencher une succession d'événements incontrôlables : vol, incendie criminel, meurtre... Des individus de milieux très variés, guidés par le désir et l'appât du gain, vont être entraînés malgré eux dans le tourbillon trépidant de Portobello Road.""
"Eugene Wren is fifty, with prematurely white hair. He is too secretive for his own good. But he has cut back radically on his alcohol consumption and has given up cigarettes. Which is just as well, considering he is going out with a doctor. For all his good intentions, though, there is something he doesn't want her to know about."@en
