‘Jaw-dropping’ THE SUNDAY TIMES
The most painful of Evie Cormac’s memories have been locked away, ever since she was held prisoner as a child. No one knows why she was kidnapped, but forensic psychologist Cyrus Haven has been trying to give her something like a normal life since her rescue captured hearts and headlines.
Until one day, standing on a Lincolnshire beach, the tragic aftermath of a shipwreck unfolds in front of them. And Evie’s nightmares come roaring back . . .
The mystery of what happened to her all those years ago is the key to this new tragedy – because these deaths were no accident. And now Cyrus and Evie must unravel the past, or risk drowning in the storm that’s coming for them both . . .
If you enjoy Storm Child, don’t miss Cyrus and Evie in Good Girl, Bad Girl, When She Was Good and Lying Beside You.
