The thrilling new adventure starring Kishwar Desai's enthralling heroine, Simran Singh
Simran Singh is desperate for a break and so the idyll of Goa seems perfect - white beaches, blue seas and no crime. But when a video appears on her phone, featuring a girl being attacked by a group of men, she realises that darkness festers in this supposed paradise. And when she discovers out that the girl is Liza Kay, a British teenager who has gone missing, she knows she must act.
In Delhi a small baby lies alone and abandoned. The product of IVF and surrogacy, she had been so coveted - until she was born with a fatal illness. Thousands of miles away in London, Kate and Ben are desperate for a baby. As Kate suffers another miscarriage, she knows something has to change. But will her desire for a baby stop at nothing...?
'Desai's Simran Singh novels are endowed with something else: the sense that she is delving not just into mysteries but into subjects that matter deeply.' INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY
In a small town in the heart of India, a young girl is found tied to a bed inside a townhouse where 13 people lie dead. The girl is alive, but only just. She is arrested for the murders she is believed to have committed. Now unconventional social worker Simran Singh must break through the girl's mute trance to discover the truth.
Hauntingly real, and beautifully atmospheric, this is a major debut.
