Portobello - Ruth Rendell
The Portobello area of West London has a rich personality - vibrant, brilliant in color, noisy, with graffiti that approach art, bizarre and splendid. There is nothing safe about Portobello...Eugene Wren inherited an art gallery from his father near an arcade that now sells cashmere, handmade soaps and children\'s clothes. An indefinable edge to it adds a spice of danger.
Eugene was fifty, with prematurely white hair. But he decided to move to a more upmarket site in Kensington Church Street. He was, perhaps, too secretive for his own good.
He also had an addictive personality. But he had cut back radically on his alcohol consumption and had given up cigarettes. Which was just as well, considering he was going out with a doctor.
For all his good intentions, though, there was something he didn\'t want her to know about...On a shopping trip one day, Eugene, quite by chance, came across an envelope containing money. He picked it up. For some reason, rather than report the matter to the police, he wrote a note and stuck it up on lamppost near his house: \'Found in Chepstow Villas, a sum of money between eighty and a hundred and sixty pounds.
Anyone who has lost such a sum should apply to the phone number below\'. This note would link the lives of a number of very different people - each with their obsessions, problems and dreams and despairs. And through it all the hectic life of Portobello would bustle on.
