Gallowglass is a 1990 novel by British writer Ruth Rendell, written under the name Barbara Vine. [1] [2]
Sandor comes from a wealthy home and is highly educated. Joe, longing for a friend, falls under his spell.
Some years earlier, Sandor had taken part in the kidnapping of a former model, Nina. He now plans to kidnap her again so that they can live together. At present, Nina lives in a heavily guarded residence with her husband and many servants. Eventually, Joe's colourful stepsister, Tilly, is also dragged into the plot.
