{"product_id":"the-fallen-curtain-stories-9780375704925","title":"The Fallen Curtain: Stories","description":"A stranger lures a child into his car with the promise of sweets. A young man spots his fianc e's double in a public park of ill repute. An executive visits the secluded home of a former employee whose intentions are frightfully unclear. A modest soul weds the woman he rescues from suicide--only to fall victim to an unfathomable form of possessiveness... \u003cbr\u003e In the eleven tales gathered in \u003ci\u003eThe Fallen Curtain\u003c\/i\u003e, Ruth Rendell--the grande dame of the literary mystery--lays bare the twisted inner workings of the unbalanced mind. Here are eleven tales of haunting psychological accuracy: the gesture that betrays a parent's madness, the childhood memory clouded with denial, the utterance that introduces the threat of violence in a situation as benign as a dinner date. Instantly engaging, maddeningly addictive, \u003ci\u003eThe Fallen Curtain\u003c\/i\u003e testifies to the enduring talents of a master of the genre.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/09\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780375704925\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.02h x 5.24w x 0.63d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2001 pg. 206\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Ruth Rendell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44112751919285,"sku":"9780375704925","price":12.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_18ff8b73-217e-4813-a859-d07267c79887.jpg?v=1715053421","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-fallen-curtain-stories-9780375704925","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
