SynopsisA daughter's grief . . . A mother's madness . . . And a daring act of love that defied every law . . . "The best mystery writer anywhere in the English-speaking world."-- The Boston Globe Mopsa, driven by a past scarred by madness and violence. Benet, stricken by the most grievous loss any woman can bear. Carol, trapped in a life of crushing drabness no lover can change. Three mothers joined by a single thread of terror, whirled into a spiral of kidnapping, murder, and a final, reckless affirmation of love.
