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...
