Give me the Child by Mel McGrath
Description
Imagine your doorbell rings in the middle of the night.
You open the door to the police.
With them is your husband’s eleven-year-old love child. A daughter you never knew he had.
Her mother has been found dead in their south London flat.
She has nowhere else to go.
WOULD YOU TAKE HER IN?
Compulsive, dark and devastating, Give Me the Child is a uniquely skilful thriller with an unforgettable twist.
