About this ebook
'One of the most absorbing books I've read in a long time' MEL SHERRATT
'An enjoyably scary chiller' SUNDAY MIRROR
'The pace never slackens from the first page to the last' RACHEL ABBOTT
TO FIND A CHILD, SHE MUST BEFRIEND A KILLER . . .
Ella Williams is ten years old. She loves her granddad and her sister and her shiny new red shoes.
She's just been abducted by a killer - someone who kidnaps young girls, holds them for a few weeks then returns their bodies clothed in white foundling dresses.
The crimes are clearly linked to notorious child murderer Louis Kinsella, locked away in a high-security hospital. But is it a copycat? Or is he giving someone direct orders from behind bars?
To save Ella's life, psychologist Alice Quentin must form a relationship with Kinsella. But he is slow to give up his secrets, and all the while, time is running out...
