'This is a wonderful novel, powerful, humane and moving. It's also
one of the best police procedurals I've read this year' Ann Cleeves
----- Can you really keep your child safe? What if who they are
puts them at risk? And what if they have blood on their hands?
Teenager Allie Kennaway heads off for prom night, cheered on by her
dad Steve and little sister Teagan. But Allie never comes home,
beaten to death in an apparent hate crime because of her
transgender identity. As police investigate the brutal murder, a
crime that has appalled the country, one parent is at her wit's end
with her son's behaviour. Are his outbursts and silences hiding
something much darker than adolescent mood swings? And if her
suspicions are correct, then what does she do? Another parent
fights tooth and nail to save his boy from the full force of the
law. But if he succeeds then Allie and her family will never get
the justice they deserve. A groundbreaking story of love and hate,
loyalty and betrayal, in a world of change. ------ Praise for Cath
Staincliffe 'Staincliffe deserves to be better known. Her books
make her readers question how they would respond in a challenging
situation' Ann Cleeves (Best Books of The Week) 'Harrowing and
humane. A real knockout' Ian Rankin 'It's always exciting to see a
writer get better and better and Cath Staincliffe is doing just
that' Val McDermid 'Remarkable depth ... The most grown-up writer
in British crime fiction' Telegraph 'Complex and satisfying' Sunday
Times 'Her finest novel yet, emotionally unsparing, powerful,
humane and moving . . . This is a timely, brave and brilliant book'
