A twisting psychological suspense about every parent's worst nightmare, featuring unforgettable journalist, Kate Waters.
Fiona Barton’s debut, The Widow, was a Sunday Times and New York
Times bestseller and has been published in 36 countries and
optioned for television. Her second novel, The Child, was a Sunday
Times bestseller. Born in Cambridge, Fiona currently lives in

people at the heart of these crimes, from the guilty to their
families, as well as those on the periphery, and draws on this
wealth of experience in her fiction writing. Clare Corbett is an
