See the list of Inspector Wexford books in order

Road Rage

A by-pass is planned in Kingsmarkham – that will destroy its peace and the natural habitat forever. Dora Wexford joins the protest movement, but Wexford must be more circumspect. Trouble is expected. Even before the protesters can make their presence felt, the badly decomposed body of a young woman is discovered. Burden believes he knows the identity of the murderer, but Wexford is not convinced. Before this homicide inquiry can proceed much further a number of people disappear – including Dora Wexford. The Chief Inspector is both puzzled and bereft. Having also just become a grandfather, he cannot come to terms with the most powerful, familial passions until the case is resolved.
