'Blood-chilling…The best hook of any thriller in the last few years' - Helen Fields, bestselling author of The Profiler
WHEN DID YOUR CHILD BECOME A KILLER?
When you look down at your newborn baby, you realise they were right, those friends who became parents first: you'd do literally anything for your child. To make them happy, to keep them safe.
So when Joseph Carver wakes one night to find his teenage son Max covered in blood - panic flooding his voice, swearing it was a mistake - Joseph does the only thing he can.
He helps Max bury the body.
Joseph thinks that's the end of the nightmare. Until he finds Max with stricken eyes and bloody hands once again . . .
You'd do anything for your child - even cover up a murder. But would you do it twice?
