End in tears : a Wexford novel / Ruth Rendell.

Summary:

At first there was no reason to link the killings. The first one, months earlier, seemed totally random: a lump of concrete pushed off an overpass onto a passing car. By contrast, the gruesome bludgeoning death of Amber Marshalson, returning home late from a night out clubbing with friends, was obviously calculated. The killer had been seen waiting for the girl in a nearby wood. But when Chief Inspector Wexford discovers that Amber had been the driver right behind the crushed car{151}and that she{146}d been driving a silver Honda, while the car in front of her was a gray Honda{151}he knows that someone wanted the teenager dead badly enough to kill twice to get the job done. And as it turns out, this murderer{146}s plans are only just getting underway. Can Wexford unravel the complex knots that connect these murders in time to save future victims? Or is he, as he begins to fear, losing his touch and fast becoming a relic of another time?
