The Face of Trespass is a psychological thriller[1] novel by British writer Ruth Rendell, first published in 1974.[2] The novel, largely told in flashbacks, follows Graham "Gray" Lanceton, a writer involved with a woman named Drusilla Browne who asks him to kill her wealthy husband. Lanceton becomes entangled in an intense, destructive affair with Browne, whom he sees as a "succubus."[3]
An Affair in Mind, a movie adaptation of the novel by the BBC starring Stephen Dillane and Amanda Donohoe, was released in 1988.[4]
