"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.

A storyteller of a high order."--Washington Post"An excellent piece of suspense writing."--San Diego Union
"Densely plotted, deeply emotional . . . The design of this book is brilliant. . . . It moves forward in a series of inexorable events that leave the reader panting from suspense and shaken from the sheer emotion of it all."--Cleveland Plain Dealer
"Here is Ruth Rendell at the top of her form--topping it, in fact, with a suspense chiller enchanted by a contemporary topicality that strikes to the heart."--Judith Christ
