A father is stranded with his baby daughter as violence breaks out in the jungle, in this page-turning and explosive new novel

‘Brilliant…heartbreaking…utterly compelling’ David Peace

Deep in a tropical rain forest, Kit and Lara escape modern life by dedicating themselves to charity work and raising their baby, Helen. But their idyllic isolation is shattered when an outsider arrives with frightening news: across the border, violence is looming.

Kit unwittingly holds evidence, hidden in a memory card, of a world-shattering event that is unfolding. Separated from Lara and with war erupting around them, he and Helen are forced to flee through the forest, hunted by a ruthless army.

Caught between the struggle of rival powers, Kit must keep his daughter alive and protect a secret worth killing for…

‘A breakneck political thriller’ Herald

‘Explosive…thrilling’ Johann Hari

‘Immersive and immensely readable, never not terrifying’ Richard Beard

‘In Kit, Richard Lloyd Parry has created a hero for our time’ TLS
