Dolores, a tough, proud 65-year-old, seems to be a harmless sort of woman. Yet when she's accused of murdering her employer, a different, horrifying side of Dolores emerges. Another exhilarating suspense tale from the master. First published in 1992. "Sternhagen [reading is] at once intimate yet extroverted... [She] captures the very essence of what can turn a woman's heart to hate and lets her audience feel it in their bones."—Publishers Weekly
