The Child Who-------pan macmillan
A quiet English town is left reeling when twelve-year-old Daniel
Blake is discovered to have brutally murdered his schoolmate Felicity
Forbes.
For provincial solicitor Leo Curtice, the case promises to be
the most high profile – andmorally challenging - of his career. But as
he begins his defence Leo is unprepared for the impact the public fury
surrounding Felicity’s death will have on his family - and his teenage
daughter Ellie, above all.
While Leo struggles to get Daniel to open
up, hoping to unearth the reasons for the boy’s terrible crime, the
build-up of pressure on Leo’s family intensifies. As the case nears its
climax, events will take their darkest turn. For Leo, nothing will ever
be the same again . . .
