Hardcover; Fine; Dust Jacket - Very Good; Benet Archdale had long been plagued by the alarming (and occasionally dangerous) eccentricities of her mother, Mopsa. Once, when she was about fourteen, they had been alone in a train compartment, and Mopsa had tried to stab her with a carving knife. It had been a while since Benet had seen her mother, and when Mopsa arrived at Heathrow looking old and harmless, Benet hoped--for the sake of her peaceful life with her baby son, James--that the dangerous days were over. In a thriller wrought with emotion and drama, Ruth Rendell explores the dark side of the deep and often destructive bond between parent and child, where guilt and greed can masquerade as love. In doing so, she has created one of her most intimate, intense and compulsively readable books. THE TREE OF HANDS was the Crime Writers' Association 1984 Golden Dagger award winner. Fine, first edition, first printing, in near-fine (front flap twice creased, else fine), mylar-protected dust jacket. M81.…
