About this title

Review:

You will find this novel impossible to put down - and if you take it on holiday with you, just don't plan on doing any sightseeing until you've finished it! (Daily Mail)

The novelist displays an almost uncanny ability to enter the skins of her troubled young protagonists. (New York Times)

It's riveting . . . This is a brilliant read, filled with twists and turns (Woman Magazine)

Engrossing . . . Picoult has a remarkable ability to make us share her characters' feelings of confusion and horror . . . THE PACT is compelling reading (People)

Impossible to put down (Observer)

From the Author:

A page-turner with a heart.
As the author, I must have read THE PACT dozens of times, and the ending still gives me a jolt. I think it's because unlike most page turners or legal suspense novels, you get a chance to crawl into the minds of the characters. And what parent HASN'T wondered what they do---or do not know about a child? Happy reading...
