Storm Child

De: Michael Robotham

Narrado por: Joe Jameson

“No one does suspense better.” —Stephen King

Cyrus Haven and Evie Cormac return in this “razor-sharp and emotionally charged” (Lisa Gardner) psychological thriller, which finally unlocks the secrets of Evie’s past.

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 he 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?

“Well paced with a slow tension building to a gripping climax [and] a very pleasing ending, Storm Child is a terrific addition to the series. Although this could be enjoyed as a stand-alone” (Mystery and Suspense Magazine).

Praise for Michael Robotham and the Cyrus Haven series

“The guy can’t write a bad book. [Lying Beside You] is one of his best, suspenseful and hard to put down.”
— STEPHEN KING

“Robotham maintains an air of excruciating suspense in this plot-driven tale.”
— The Washington Post

“[An] expertly paced and psychologically acute novel . . . [with] insightfully drawn characters and [a] superb sense of place that the author conjures up with laconic ease, razor-sharp wit, and, above all, compassion. . . . Gripping and insightful.”
— Kirkus (Starred Review of Lying Beside You)

“Haunting . . . Robotham expertly raises the tension as the action hurtles toward the devastating climax. Readers will hope the complex Cyrus will return for an encore.”
— Publishers Weekly (Starred Review of Good Girl, Bad Girl)

“[A] powerhouse of a novel. . . . The whole enterprise is enriched by wonderfully cadenced prose that almost invites one to feel its texture. It’s rare to be overawed by the writing in scenes of violence and danger, but . . . this one’s a jewel, and readers who don’t know Robotham should immediately catch up.”
— Booklist (Starred Review of When She Was Good)
