    Blood Symmetry: Alice Quentin 5

    Kate Rhodes

    Formats & Editions

    Clare Riordan and her son Mikey are abducted from Clapham Common early one morning. Hours later, the boy is found wandering disorientated. Soon after, a pack of Clare's blood is left on a doorstep in the heart of the City of London.

    Alice Quentin is brought in to help the traumatised child uncover his memories - which might lead them to his mother's captors. But she swiftly realises Clare is not the first victim... nor will she be the last.

    The killers are driven by a desire for revenge... and in the end, it will all come down to blood.

    • An original and exciting story made all the more disturbing by the fact that the underlying premise is based on real events. An excellent read. - Rachel Abbott

    • Excellent...based on a true, fascinating and shocking story - Literary Review
