Edgar Award Finalist: In London, a missing child unites three mothers in grief, madness, and murder. When Benet Archdale was a young girl in North London, her mother, Mopsa, made her nervous. The woman was unsound, and posed ever-present dangers. Yet Benet understood her sickness and forgave her threats. In pursuit of a relatively sane life as a novelist and loving single parent, Benet has since kept Mopsa at a distance. But it&’s not only the sudden death of Benet&’s two-year-old son that shakes her safe world. It&’s the past. Mopsa has returned to be at her inconsolable daughter&’s side. Nurturing, rational, and seemingly cured, Mopsa is going to do everything she can to ease Benet&’s grief. Then, on the other side of town, the child of a barmaid has gone missing. Authorities fear the search can&’t end well. As Benet and Mopsa are drawn into the disappearance, the secrets, lies, and desperation of three mothers will converge—by chance and by design. For them, it&’s a crime that is at once a delusion, an escape, and a nightmare. &“No one surpasses Ruth Rendell when it comes to stories of obsession, instability, and malignant coincidence,&” says Stephen King of this New York Times–bestselling author, and all three come into play in this novel, a winner of the Crime Writers&’ Association Silver Dagger Award.

Then they discover eerily similar murders taking place in rapid succession all over the country. The past, it seems, refuses to be buried. The uprising has begun. In this provocative page-turner that takes direct aim at racism and police violence, Percival Everett offers a devastating critique of White supremacy and confronts the painful legacy of lynching in the United States. A New York Times Notable Book for 2021.

"We wish you'd get rid of what you've got here, sir," he observed, digging doggedly. "Nothing'll grow right with them here." "Shrubs " said the Squire, laughing. "You don't call the peacock trees shrubs, do you? Fine tall trees -- you ought to be proud of them." "Ill weeds grow apace," observed the gardener. "Weeds can grow as houses when somebody plants them." Then he added: "Him that sowed tares in the Bible, Squire." "Oh, blast your --" began the Squire, and then replaced the more apt and alliterative word "Bible" by the general word "superstition." He was himself a robust rationalist, but he went to church to set his tenants an example. Of what, it would have puzzled him to say.

Amid the tea shops and alleys of the souk, the sun-blasted architecture, and the beaches and hotels frequented by international tourists, will Ingham’s morality survive the withering heat?
