"The grand dame of British crime fiction" (Gazette), author Ruth Rendell is known for her brilliantly composed tales of human drama. In the psychological thriller Tigerlily's Orchids, Stuart Font throws a housewarming party in his flat and generously invites the entire building. But the pleasant gathering takes on a deadly tinge when the beautiful but reclusive Asian woman living across the hall—who Stuart calls Tigerlily—casts a spell on everyone living at Lichfield House.
