But when another woman reports that her husband is missing, the case turns unpleasantly complex.

  • "An "Unkindness" is the collective noun for a group of ravens. They are not particularly predatory birds, but neither rare they soft and submissive. Now, the raven has become the symbol of a militant feminist group known as 'Arria', whose attitude to the male gender is, like the nature of said bird, far from submissive ... When Chief Inspector Wexford was asked to investigate the disappearance of his neighbour Rodney Williams he was certain it was just a case of another middle-aged man having run-off with a young woman. All the signs pointed that way. A waste of time to concern yourself with, his thoughts tell him. However, he would be shocked to his core when, weeks later, Rodney's disappearance turns out to be at the centre of a violent and bizarre murder ..."@en

The raven is a symbol used by a feminist group whose attitude to the opposite sex is anything but soft and submissive. Detective Chief Inspector Wexford thought he was only doing a neighborly good deed when he agreed to talk to Joy Williams about her missing husband. he didn't expect to be investigating a homicide."@en

  • "Inspector Wexford's investigation of the murder of a paint sales manager points to a number of suspects. The victim was not only guilty of financial misdeeds, but also was a bigamist and a philanderer who focused on Lolita types. Later, when several men are knifed, the detective wonders if the murders are related to a local radical feminist cult."@en
  • "Detective chief inspectors have better things to do with their time than listen to women complain about philandering husbands. It takes Inspector Wexford less than five minutes to figure that's what his current case is all about. Yet he's dead wrong."@en

The raven: not a particularly predatory bird, but far from soft and submissive, adopted as the symbol of a militant feminist group. Detective Chief Inspector Wexford thought he was merely doing a neighbourly good deed when he agreed to talk to Joy Williams about her missing husband. He certainly didn't expect to be investigating a most unusual homicide. Rodney Williams was neither handsome nor wealthy, but he had an unerring eye for a pretty girl and when he disappeared and two other men were later attacked by a young woman, Wexford couldn't help wondering if there was a connection. If there wasn't, where was Rodney Williams and why had he vanished? He had committed no crime, apart from telling his wife the occasional lie."
