Description
In
the fourth novel of this acclaimed crime series, Joe Donovan must help a
woman discover if her recent visions are related to the death of a
young boy.
Anne Marie (Mae) is back in the hometown she hasn't seen for forty years, trying to live a normal life with her teenage son. But that's impossible. Because forty years ago, when she was eleven, she killed a little boy.
She is trying to make peace with her past by telling her story to journalist Joe Donovan. But it's not that simple. Suffering from horrifying visions, she sometimes does bad things. Things she has no memory of afterwards. Desperate, she turns to Donovan for help. But Donovan may have personal reasons for helping her. Reasons that have to do with the disappearance of his own son . . .
Martyn Waites is one of Britain's leading authors of crime fiction. He is the author of The Mercy Seat, Bone Machine, White Riot, and Speak No Evil.

Advance Praise
"The
violence is graphic enough to authenticate Waites's reputation for
toughness, but the psychology behind Mae's pathology is so sound that
you may want to grant her a full pardon." -Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times
"Waites' brilliant fourth Joe Donovan thriller puts him in the same league as such established contemporary noir masters as Ian Rankin, John Harvey, and Denise Mina. Donovan's continued search for his son raises the emotional stakes in this searing crime novel." -Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
"Martyn Waites is Britain's answer to Michael Connelly and the Joe Donovan series is proof of that." -Ken Bruen
