Deception

  • Lesley Pearse



The enthralling new novel from the 10-million-copy, No. 1 bestselling author

After the funeral of her mother, Sally, Alice Kent is approached by a man named Angus who claims to be her father and served time in prison for marrying Sally bigamously.

What does he hope to gain telling her this now, thirty years on? How can her adored Ralph not be her true father? And why did her mother betray her so badly?

She had accepted Sally's many faults, and reluctance to never speak of the past. But faced with this deception, Alice knows she must uncover the whole truth about her mother.

Whatever the cost.
