The Child
Summary
The author of the stunning New York Times best-seller The Widow returns with a brand-new novel of twisting psychological suspense. As an old house is demolished in a gentrifying section of London, a workman discovers a tiny skeleton, buried for years. For journalist Kate Waters, it’s a story that deserves attention.

As Kate investigates, she unearths connections to a crime that rocked the city decades earlier: A newborn baby was stolen from the maternity ward in a local hospital and was never found. Her heartbroken parents were left devastated by the loss. But there is more to the story, and Kate is drawn - house by house - into the pasts of the people who once lived in this neighborhood that has given up its greatest mystery. She soon finds herself the keeper of unexpected secrets that erupt in the lives of three women - and torn between what she can and cannot tell....

The Widow
Summary
A loving husband or a heartless killer...she'd know, wouldn't she? There's a lot Jean hasn't said over the years about the crime her husband was suspected of committing. She was busy being the perfect wife, standing by her man while living with accusing glares and anonymous harassment. Now her husband is dead, and there's no reason to stay quiet. People want to hear her story. They want to know what it was like living with that man. She can tell them there were secrets. There always are in a marriage. The truth - that's all anyone wants. But the one lesson Jean has learned in the last few years is that she can make people believe anything. For the reporter who has secured the exclusive interview, this is the scoop of a lifetime. For the detective who has lived a half-life since he failed to get justice for the victim, it is a chance to get at the truth that has eluded him for so long. For Jean, it's a chance to defend herself, what she knew - and when. This is the tale of a missing child, narrated by the wife of the main suspect, the detective leading the hunt, and the journalist covering the case. It's a brilliantly ominous, psychologically acute portrait of a marriage in crisis - perfect for fans of The Silent Wife and The Girl on the Train.

La Veuve
Summary
Mari idéal ou parfait assassin ? Elle devait savoir... non ? La vie de Jane Taylor a toujours été ordinaire. Un travail sans histoire, une jolie maison, un mari attentionné, en somme tout ce dont elle pouvait rêver, ou presque. Jusqu'au jour où une petite fille disparaît et que les médias désignent Glen, son époux, comme LE suspect principal de ce crime. Depuis ce jour, plus rien n'a été pareil. Jane devient la femme d'un monstre aux yeux de tous. Les quatre années suivantes ressemblent à une descente aux enfers : accusée par la justice, assaillie par les médias, abandonnée par ses amis, elle ne connaît plus le bonheur ni la tranquilité, même après un acquittement. Mais aujourd'hui, Glen est mort. Fauché par un bus. Ne reste que Jane, celle qui a tout subi, qui pourtant n'est jamais partie. Traquée par un policier en quête de vérité et une journaliste sans scrupule, la veuve va-t-elle enfin délivrer sa version de l'histoire ?

La Coupure
Summary
Quand quelques lignes en bas de la colonne des brèves révèlent la découverte d'un squelette de bébé sur un chantier de la banlieue de Londres, la plupart des lecteurs n'y prêtent guère attention. Mais pour trois femmes, cette nouvelle devient impossible à ignorer. Angela revit à travers elle le pire moment de son existence : quarante ans auparavant, on lui a dérobé sa fille à la maternité. Depuis, elle cherche des réponses. Pour Emma, jeune éditrice en free-lance, c'est le début de la descente aux enfers, car ce fait divers risque fort de mettre son secret le plus noir à jour et de détruire sa vie à jamais. Quant à Kate, journaliste de renom et avide d'une bonne story, elle flaire là le premier indice d'une affaire qui pourrait bien lui coûter quelques nuits blanches. Car toutes les histoires ne sont pas bonnes à être publiées... Encore moins quand elles font resurgir des vérités que personne ne souhaite connaître.
