Chris Sherrit: A Taste for Family, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

In the quiet streets beneath Stirling Castle, Henry Dubois keeps to himself. Polite enough to the neighbours, invisible to most, he harbours a hunger that has kept him hidden for decades-a hunger satisfied only in ways too terrible to speak aloud.

For years, Henry has lived without family, without friends, without witnesses. Until the day a pale, rain-soaked girl appears on his doorstep.

She calls herself Olivia. She says she's his daughter.

As father and daughter circle one another in the cramped rooms of Henry's home, uneasy truths rise to the surface. But Stirling is a small city, and secrets have sharp ears. Soon, Henry must decide which instinct is stronger: the one that drives him to protect his own blood... or the one that has defined him all his life.

A haunting story of family, hunger, and the monstrous legacy we cannot outrun.
