A tense and chilling tale of suspense from the winner of the 1999 Cartier Diamond Dagger.
What secret could be so terrible that a mother would endure years of abuse to keep it concealed?
Susan Trent is in her 60s, living in a house she loves, in a prosperous village. She has a nice job in the local estate agents which keeps her active, and she very much enjoys her garden: she ought to be well-satisfied with her lot. Instead she lives in constant terror of her semi-employed, abusive, middle-aged son. Her friends suspects that the cuts and bruises she explains away as her own clumsiness are really caused by his fists, but no-one steps in, unsure of why she puts up with it.
Then a stranger comes to lodge in the village, triggering a series of events which will eventually bring to light why Susan has really been so protective of her son. But not until much more of her blood has been spilled.
'The mistress of the skilfully-spun suspense novel.'
The Sunday Telegraph
'Her short, sparse accounts of things going wrong and innocent people getting caught up in events beyond their control never fails to induce a powerful sense of apprehension and foreboding.'
The Guardian
