*The Sunday Times Top Ten bestselling author is back with her unputdownable new thriller!*
SHE INHERITED HIS FORTUNE.
AND HIS SECRET SON...
Isla Hanson has the perfect life: a big house in the suburbs and a doting, older husband, Jerry. Only one thing is missing - a baby.
When Jerry dies suddenly, Isla's world is torn apart. Especially when a young woman turns up at the funeral and claims that Jerry is her baby's father.
Isla is sure that her husband wouldn't have betrayed her, but as she listens to Melanie's story, she begins to doubt everything about the man she loved.
And she soon realises the lengths she'll go to keep the small child in her life...
I wrote my first book when I was taken ill and had to quit singing for a while. I based it in the Hulme Crescents, where I had spent 10 of some of the best and absolute worst years of my life. It was a squatters paradise when I moved in, and a notorious no-go zone for the police. Violent crimes were commonplace and drugs were rife. I saw a fair few friends get sucked into the hell of addiction - and lost too many of them because of it. Those were the bad times, but then the musicians and artists started moving in. A friend once described it as being like Glastonbury all year round, and it really was. I wanted to capture the spirit of the place in my writing - the good and the bad; but I quickly discovered that I couldn't write about real people. I'd start, but then I'd become conscious of what they might think of it and that would inhibit me. So I decided to take a stab at inventing characters instead, using the Crescents as the backdrop for their stories. And, guess what? It worked!
