The most painful of Evie Cormac's memories have been locked away, ever since she was held prisoner as a child. No one knows why she was kidnapped, but forensic psychologist Cyrus Haven has been trying to give her something like a normal life since her rescue captured hearts and headlines.
Until one day, standing on a Lincolnshire beach, the tragic aftermath of a shipwreck unfolds in front of them. And Evie's nightmares come roaring back . . .
The mystery of what happened to her all those years ago is the key to this new tragedy - because these deaths were no accident. And now Cyrus and Evie must unravel the past, or risk drowning in the storm that's coming for them both . . .
If you enjoy Storm Child, don't miss Cyrus and Evie in Good Girl, Bad Girl, When She Was Good and Lying Beside You. And meet Phil McCarthy in When You Are Mine and Michael's brand-new thriller The White Crow.
