Paperwork by Ruth Rendell

Cruelty and silence lead a man to confront his past in a house piled high with papers and secrets. Read by Russell Dixon.

Thirty years on from the day he left his grandmother in her cold stone mansion, a middle-aged man returns to claim his inheritance.

But all she has left him are piles of papers - which may or may not contain the terrible secrets of his past - which until now have remained unknown to him.

There's the emotional cruelty he suffered as a child, the reasons he was abandoned by his mother - and the nature of his father's death.

All these secrets lie in these papers, but does he really want to know the answers?

Read by Russell Dixon.
