Product description
The trauma of love and betrayal!
In the summer of 2006, Emma Price watched helplessly and heartbroken as her six-year-old son's red coat was fished out of the River Ouse. Tragic sensation of the year: A little boy, Aiden, slipped out of school during a terrible flood, fell into the river and drowned.
His body was never found.
Ten years later, Emma is finally sometimes able to rediscover the joys of life. She got married, is expecting a child, seems to have got her life back...
...until Aiden shows up.
The boy was too affected by what had happened to talk about them. His appearance raises an infinite number of questions, but he does not answer any of them. Only his body, broken bones and injuries reveal all the horrors he had to endure in the last decade. The boy never drowned. He was kidnapped.
Emma tries to reconnect with her now-adolescent son, and at all costs, she wants to find the monster that took him from her. But who in a quiet Yorkshire village would do such a thing?
Only Aiden knows the answer, but he can't say the unspeakable.
A dark and disturbing psychological novel - it will be an instant favorite for fans of Holtodiglan and Butterfly Garden.
