Synopsis
THE THIRD BOOK IN THE KATE MARTINELLI MYSTERY SERIES
In Laurie R. King's With Child, adrift in mist-shrouded San Francisco mornings and alcohol-fogged nights, homicide detective Kate Martinelli can't escape the void left by her departed lover, who has gone off to rethink their relationship. But when twelve-year-old Jules Cameron comes to Kate for a professional consultation, Kate's not sure she's that desperate for distraction.
Jules is worried about her friend Dio, a homeless boy she met in a park. Dio has disappeared without a word of farewell, and Jules wants Kate to find him. Reluctant as she is, Kate can't say no--and soon she finds herself forming a friendship with the bright, quirky girl. But the search for Dio will prove to be much more than both bargained for--and it's only the beginning.
When Jules disappears while taking a trip with Kate, a desperate search begins--and Kate knows all too well the odds of finding the child alive.

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'.
"One of the most literate and gifted writers the mystery world has seen for some time"
VAL MCDERMID
"If there is a new P.D. James...I would put my money on Laurie King"
