Publisher Description
Cyrus Haven and Evie Cormac return in Robotham’s latest psychological thriller, which finally unlocks the secrets of Evie’s past and reaffirms why Stephen King has proclaimed this author “an absolute master.”
The mystery of Evie Cormac’s background has followed her into adulthood. As a child, she was discovered hiding in a secret room where a man had been tortured to death. Many of her captors and abusers escaped justice, unseen but not forgotten. Now, on a hot summer’s day, the past drags Evie back as she watches the bodies of seventeen migrants wash up on a Lincolnshire beach.
There is only one survivor, a teenage boy, who tells police their small boat was deliberately rammed and sunk. Psychologist Cyrus Haven is recruited by the police to investigate the murders—but recognizes immediately that Evie has some link to the tragedy. By solving this crime, he could finally unlock the secrets of her past. But what dark forces will he set loose? And who will pay the price?
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
This psychological thriller plunges into hot-button emotional and political issues as forensic psychologist Cyrus Haven investigates the suspicious sinking of a migrant boat off the coast of a British beach. It’s personal for him: The event deeply disturbs his roommate, Evie, herself a former migrant and victim of severe abuse, and her buried childhood trauma may hold the key to finding out who’s behind it. Author Michael Robotham’s sensitive insights into the deeper issues underpinning his story give added weight and complexity to the tense action. Narrator Joe Jameson delivers an especially compelling performance as Evie: socially stunted in some ways, knowing and perceptive in others, and wanting more from Cyrus than he feels it professionally appropriate to give. Storm Child is a nuanced thriller with fascinating characters and a complex relationship at its center.
