From the Back Cover
LAURIE KING IS WINNER OF THE BRITISH AND AMERICAN AWARDS FOR BEST FIRST CRIME NOVEL OF THE YEAR
San Francisco homicide detective Kate Martinelli becomes involved in a nightmare that begins in her off-duty life and turns into a crime for which she feels herself responsible...
Alone in the house she shares with her partner Lee, Kate is isolated and angry: Lee, recovering from a near fatal gunshot wound, decides she needs to spend time on her own, a move Kate can only see as rejection. Lonely and confused, Kate befriends the bright, quirky twelve-year-old Jules, and when the girl's parents go on a trip, Kate agrees to take care of her.
But when Kate decides to 'drop in' to the farm where Lee is staying, events spiral out of control. During the trip, in a rural area where a serial killer has been victimising young girls, Jules disappears...
Unbearably gripping and deeply moving, 'With Child' is an extraordinary novel from the award-winning author of 'A Grave Talent' and 'To Play the Fool'.
