The Prodigal H C Maree

Frank and Lizzie are the perfect couple - wealthy, influential, successful, but childless after years of marriage. After adopting Daniel their happiness seems complete until he starts to behave in ways that are dark and disturbing. Years later, Frank and Lizzie pass away within months of each other. Daniel is last seen at Lizzie's funeral, then disappears. Dr Mark Foster, Frank's friend and cardiologist, is uneasy. The facts surrounding Frank's death don't add up. In a race against time, Mark must prove that Frank died for reasons other than "natural causes", as stated on his death certificate. He exposes a compelling story spanning two decades of an intense family struggle and unconditional love. But someone's watching him, waiting, willing to kill for the truth to remain hidden. The ending is powerful, riveting, unexpected and resonates long after the final page is read. A superb thriller, impossible to put down.
