Nothing is as fragile as the memory of a child... Malone, a child barely four years old, starts to claim that his mother isn't his real mother. It seems impossible. His mother has birth certificates, photos of him as a child and even the pediatrician confirms this is her child. The school psychologist is the only one who believes him and he's in a race against time to find out the truth. He approaches Marianne Augresse, a police captain with better things to do with her time. Hot on the heels of a a major criminal, she has little interest in the stories of a child. But what if she's wrong? THE WRONG MOTHER is a blistering new novel full of twists and turns from the bestselling author of AFTER THE CRASH.
