The Cry

He’s gone.

And telling the truth won’t bring him back . . .

When a baby goes missing on a lonely roadside in Australia, it sets off a police investigation that will become a media sensation and dinner-table talk across the world.

Lies, rumours and guilt snowball, causing the parents, Joanna and Alistair, to slowly turn against each other.

Finally Joanna starts thinking the unthinkable: could the truth be even more terrible than she suspected? And what will it take to make things right?

The Cry is a dark psychological thriller with a gripping moral dilemma at its heart and characters who will keep you guessing on every page.

The Donor

Two daughters. One impossible choice.

Just after her sixteenth birthday, Will’s daughter Georgie suffers kidney failure. She needs a transplant but her type is rare. Will, a single dad who’s given up everything to raise his twin daughters, offers to be a donor.

Then his other daughter, Katy, gets sick. She’s just as precious, her kidney type just as rare. Time is critical, and Will has to make a decision.

Should he try to buy a kidney? Should he save just one child – if so, which one? Should he sacrifice himself? Or is there a fourth solution, one so terrible it has never even crossed his mind?

My Last Confession

A naïve parole officer in her first month on the job. An extremely good-looking convicted murderer. What could go wrong?

These are some of Krissie’s tips for fellow parole officers:

Don’t smuggle heroin into prison.

Don’t drink vodka to relieve stress.

Don’t French-kiss a colleague to make your boyfriend jealous.

If only she’d taken her own advice . . .

When she starts the job, Krissie is happy and in love. Then she meets convicted murderer Jeremy, and begins to believe he may be innocent. Her growing obsession with his case threatens to jeopardise everything – her job, her relationship and her life.
