A young boy dies, another goes missing, and one mother'€™s choice will forever alter many lives When Benet'€™s young son dies on the operating table, she cannot be comforted'€”not even by her mother who cares for a young boy just about the same age. Meanwhile, another mother'€™s son goes missing, and police circle around possible suspects in what must be murder. These three mothers'€”the schizophrenic Mopsa, upwardly mobile Benet, and gold-digging Carol'€”become forever entwined by death, delusion, kidnapping, and murder, and one woman'€™s loss becomes another'€™s gain. With deft characterization and keen insight, Rendell presents a complex, real exploration of morality and a mother'€™s love in this Crime Writers'€™ Association Macallan Silver Dagger award'€“winning novel.
