Shortlisted for the Edgar Award for Best Novel (1986).

A psychological thriller about three mothers bound by a thread of terror from multi-million copy and SUNDAY TIMES bestselling author Ruth Rendell. When Benet was about fourteen, she and her mother had been alone in a train carriage - and Mopsa had tried to stab her with a carving knife. It has been some time since Benet had seen her psychologically disturbed mother. So when Mopsa arrives at the airport looking drab and colourless in a dowdy grey suit, Benet tries not to hate her. But when the tragic death of a child begins a chain of deception, kidnap and murder in which three women are pushed to psychological extremes, family ties are strained to the absolute limit...
