RUTH RENDELL/BARBARA VINE:

This is Rendell's output, with year of publication, alternate titles (if any), Swedish titles, and the detective of the story. Nos. 48-57 are those short stories that have not been collected in book-form, as far as I know. Then follow the novels that were published under the pseudonym Barbara Vine (nos. 58-67). Last is the one short story that has been published under the Vine pseudonym.
