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"
