The Secret Child
Synopsis
DI Amy Winter is still absorbing the discovery that she is the daughter of serial killers when four-year-old Ellen is kidnapped. Ellen's mother receives a package containing four identical vials and a note signed by Luka Volkov — a man who supposedly died in a fire years earlier. One of the vials is poison. She is told to drink one if she wants to know where her daughter is.
When a second child disappears, Amy and her team have to dig into secrets buried decades deep, and the connections lead back into the crimes that made Amy who she is. To close the case she may have to ask for help from the one person she most wants to forget.
The Secret Child is the second book in Caroline Mitchell's DI Amy Winter police procedural series.
