The farm

The new thriller from the author of Child 44. Daniel believed his retired parents were living a peaceful life on a secluded farm in Sweden. But his world is turned upside down when he receives a phone call. “Your mother... she's not well,” his father says. “She's been imagining things. Terrible things. She had a psychotic breakdown and was admitted to the hospital.” Before Daniel can board the plane to Sweden, he receives another call, this time from his mother: “Everything this man told you is a lie. I'm not crazy. I don't need a doctor. I need the police... Meet me at Heathrow Airport.” Torn between two versions of the same story, and undecided about who to believe, Daniel becomes both judge and jury in his mother's desperate account, which reveals secrets from the past, lies, and a possible conspiracy to cover up a crime involving his own father.
