First printing. A mother's search for her young daughter's murderer turns into an obsessive desire for revenge. Although Fielding has been described as 'the maven of domestic terror,' she feels that her books are about ordinary people -- women mostly -- caught in extraordinary situations - and that is the reason for her popularity. Her characters are not glamorous, they are real women that readers can identify with, even as they are grateful that they are not facing the terrible situations in which her characters are often placed. 333 pp. Very near fine in a fine dustjacket. (light remainder spray on bottom edge, but a tight, straight and clean copy) .ISBN # 0-385-188714
