The Nowhere Child

`The Nowhere Child is the personification of a high-concept thriller, brilliantly executed. Author White raises the bar on psychological suspense, telling Kim Leamy's tale in a stylish voice and with a heart-pounding pace. Read page one, and you won't stop. Guaranteed' Jeffery Deaver

`Packed with tension, twists and tremendous pace, it's hard to believe that this is the work of a debut author. The Nowhere Child is stunning and flawless. I can't recommend it enough' Thomas Enger

`Beautifully written, perfectly suspenseful and wonderfully dark. I could not put this book down' Susi Holliday

`Such a clever idea, which grips from the very first chapter' Ragnar Jonasson

`The Nowhere Child is pure dynamite. The high concept premise grabbed me from the first page and refused to let me go until I finished. You may try to read it slowly, so you can savor every single word, but the story is so all-encompassing-the need to know what happens next so urgent-you'll forget all about savoring and find yourself tearing through the pages as fast as your fingers can manage. You do not want to miss this book!' Linda Castillo, New York Times bestselling author

`The Nowhere Child is a fabulous read, populated by such well-drawn and identifiable characters that I felt I knew them. I was desperate to know how the story unfolded. Brilliant!' Louise Voss

`The Nowhere Child lures you in, its teeth disguised in remarkably compelling prose, and gnaws down to the marrow of your bones' Matt Wesolowski

`The Nowhere Child is a page-turning labyrinth of twists and turns that moves seamlessly between the past and the present, revealing the story in parts and successfully keeping the reader guessing until the final unexpected reveal ... It's an exhilarating ride and a thrilling debut' Books + Publishing magazine
