The smallest towns have the darkest secrets... When Carrie's son, Cal, vanished from the Cornish town of Devil's Cove, she thought she'd lost him for good. Seven years later, a teenager has been found washed up on the beach. It's Carrie's son. And he's alive. No longer the sweet boy she remembers, Cal is deeply troubled, wildly unpredictable, and a growing danger to everyone around him. Now, Carrie must unravel the mystery of what happened to her son before it's too late. Because a serial killer is stalking the streets of Devil's Cove. And another young child is missing... Set against the wild backdrop of Cornwall, The Cove is the first part of a nail-biting trilogy about a mother's fight to save her son from the grip of evil.
