T.M. Logan
WHEN Ellen Devlin is left holding an abandoned baby on a train heading into London, it’s just the start of a terrifying journey… The baby’s flustered young mother said she needed to make an urgent telephone call but now Ellen has just seen the woman leave the train at the next stop, and walk away without looking back.
One of the most exciting authors currently writing for the
ever-busy crime thriller market, T.M. Logan (pictured below) is back with another of his
ingeniously imagined and perfectly executed plots, and this one is guaranteed
to blow your mind!
Trust Me – a compulsive, menacing, high-octane story full of
authentic characters, gobsmacking twists and with Logan’s trademark this-could-happen-to-me
premise – is an addictive thrill ride into a dangerous, deadly and definitely
untrustworthy world.
Even the doctors don’t fully understand why 41-year-old
Ellen can’t get pregnant but on her way home, after hearing their devastating
verdict, she knows for certain that her infertility has ended her marriage and
made her ‘a prisoner of my own biology.’
Recalling the fear she had seen in her last glimpse of
Kathryn, and asking herself why a mother would abandon her child to a stranger,
Ellen makes a split second choice… but she is about to discover that the baby
in her arms might hold the key to an unspeakable crime, and doing the right
thing might just cost her everything.
There won’t be a moment’s pause for readers when they are pulled mercilessly into Ellen’s perilous battle to protect baby Mia, and her intrepid search for the truth behind her mother’s abrupt departure on that fateful journey to Marylebone. But beware because Logan loves to confound his readers’ expectations and Trust Me – a tale teeming with those who would have Ellen put their trust in them – is a brilliantly played game of lies, cruelty and subterfuge.
Fortunately, our unexpectedly resolute and resourceful hero
Ellen proves to be more than ready to put up a fierce fight against foes, both
seen and unseen, for the baby that has been unexpectedly thrust into her
care. Her emotional investment in Mia – fuelled by her own
heartbreaking inability to bear a child – transforms Ellen into a long-dormant
lioness defending her cub, and takes her to some of humankind’s darkest and
most disturbing places. Fast-paced throughout and bristling with suspense, you won’t
trust your own judgments until the final, explosive last act!
