What this book is about
Karen Perry's psychological thriller follows David Connolly — a Dublin professor — whose stable life fractures when a young woman arrives claiming to be the child he didn't know he had. Perry writes domestic suspense with the specificity of an Irish literary novelist and the tension of a genre writer who understands exactly when to release the pressure.
