Live Flesh is a 1986 psychological thriller by British author Ruth Rendell. It won the Crime Writers' Association Gold Dagger for best crime novel of the year. It was the inspiration for a film of the same name by Pedro Almodóvar.[1] Almodovar's treatment of the theme is very different from the original novel, making significant changes to the characters and plot.[2]
