註釋No. 1 bestselling author of The Guilty One is back with a gripping and emotional new moral thriller about a woman, a child, the gulf that stands between them, and about how far people will go to keep a secret... Magpie is an independent, unconventional and troubled woman with secrets. Returning home late one night she finds a young girl covered in bruises who claims to have run away from home. Deciding to protect her at all costs, Magpie takes the child home with her. At first this is easy, because of her bohemian lifestyle, but it soon becomes clear that someone is looking for the child. In a story that reaches from the mid-20th Century to the present day, we discover why Magpie has risked everything to hide the child, and what she herself is running away from. Praise for Lisa Ballantyne: 'One of the most readable, emotionally intense novels of the year' Richard and Judy 'Thought-provoking, brave and challenging, this book is an unsettling and compulsive read' Rosamund Lupton 'A page-turner with real emotional depth' Daily Express 'Moving, insightful' Guardian 'Grips like a vice' Daily Mail 'Sophisticated, suspenseful, unsettling' Lee Child 'I couldn't get this book out of my head. It kept me up all night and guessing the whole way through. I loved it' Jenny Colgan 'An outstanding work of fiction' Daily Record.
