The Other Mother

by Michel Bussi (Author)

Synopsis

Nothing is as fragile as the memory of a child...

Malone, a child barely four years old, starts to claim that his mother isn't his real mother. It seems impossible. His mother has birth certificates, photos of him as a child and even the pediatrician confirms this is her child. The school psychologist is the only one who believes him and he's in a race against time to find out the truth. He approaches Marianne Augresse, a police captain with better things to do with her time. Hot on the heels of a a major criminal, she has little interest in the stories of a child. But what if she's wrong?

THE WRONG MOTHER is a blistering new novel full of twists and turns from the bestselling author of AFTER THE CRASH.

Media Reviews
Michel Bussi is one of France's most ingenious crime writers... has plenty of twists and turns in store in this fast-moving novel about a long-planned act of revenge

Some writers try carefully calibrated alternations on a winning formula from book to book, but offer few surprises. That can't be said of the French author Michel Bussi... That refusal to repeat himself is evident in Don't Let Go, which is just as accomplished as its predecessors - GUARDIAN

This elegant crime mystery shimmers as delicately as the paintings of Claude Monet that lie at its heart . . . A bestseller in France, it is a dazzling, unexpected and haunting masterpiece - Daily Mail on BLACK WATER LILIES

Bussi cleverly breaks all the perceived rules of plotting in a story containing riddles within riddles . . . stunning - DAILY EXPRESS
