Of all Ruth Rendell novels, this is the one I enjoyed the most. It is about bored middle class bank clerk who is obsessed with literature. Two scums decide to rob a bank he is working in, but thing go wrong and protagonist get away with all cash however he doesn't know what to to with it now, since police are chasing him. Very depressing and grim.
