The Guilty Daughter
I defend criminals for a living. But I never thought I'd have to defend my own child.
Our home was always our sanctuary. As a barrister, I work long hours with tough people. Coming back to Damien and our teenage daughter Ellie was heaven. But lately, Ellie has been distant, missing her curfew and never answering her phone. Tonight, as I watch the blue flashing lights across the street as a young girl is wheeled into an ambulance, I feel a growing sense of dread: Is my daughter guilty?
Damien reassures me she's like any other teenager, rebelling against us. But I feel certain it's worse. Over the last few months she's become a stranger to me. When I overhear her on the phone saying, 'She deserves to pay for what she did, ' I feel sick. What is she capable of?
When the police ask to question Ellie, I start building her case. But if I want her to walk free, I know I must risk my own dark secret coming out, something I've hidden all Ellie's life. It will destroy my family. But will it also cost me my life?
A totally gripping psychological thriller that will have you reading long into the night perfect for fans of The Housemaid, Jeneva Rose and Jackie Kabler.
