The Winter Foundlings: Alice Quentin 3

Kate Rhodes

8 Reviews

Rated 0

Fiction, Crime & mystery, Thriller / suspense

Getting inside the mind of a killer isn't for the faint of heart... Alice Quentin faces her most terrifying challenge yet in this chilling novel, perfect for fans of Nicci French.

Ella Williams is ten years old. She loves her granddad and her sister and her shiny new red shoes.

She's just been abducted by a killer - someone who kidnaps young girls, holds them for a few weeks then returns their bodies clothed in white foundling dresses.

The crimes are clearly linked to notorious child murderer Louis Kinsella, locked away in a high-security hospital. Is it a copycat? Or is he giving someone direct orders from behind bars?

To save Ella's life, psychologist Alice Quentin must form a relationship with Kinsella. But he is slow to give up his secrets, and all the while, time is running out...
