Lake Child

'Tense, edgy and nerve-wracking. I loved it!' Helen Fields
'A really thrilling read, satisfying on every level.' Elly Griffiths
'Had me gripped throughout' Ian Rankin

A haunting psychological mystery about missing memories and dangerous family secrets.

When seventeen-year-old Eva Olsen wakes after a horrific accident, she finds herself confined to the attic of her family's remote house in the forests of Norway. Her parents insist it's for her own protection - that she's too fragile to leave, that her memories are too patchy to trust. But Eva knows something is wrong.

The door is locked from outside. Her friends can't visit. Someone watches the house from the snowy woods. Snatches of memory surface: a party by the lake, a stranger's face, a scream.

As her parents grow more evasive, Eva suspects the truth about the accident - and who she used to be - is far more disturbing than they'll admit. Are they trying to protect her? Or to protect themselves?

Perfect for fans of S.J. Watson's Before I Go to Sleep, J.P. Delaney's The Girl Before and Paula Hawkins' The Girl on the Train.
