Description
Madeleine Frank, born and raised in America, is the daughter of a mentally unstable Cuban mother and an internationally prominent English artist. Losing her husband in a freak accident, Madeleine escapes her island home in Florida and follows her parents to England, where she trains and practises as a psychotherapist. Though devastated by her loss, her grief covers up another deeper scar from her past. At a time when she is finally starting to heal and forget, the precarious equilibrium of her life is upset by the appearance of a new client, Rachel. Damaged and mistrustful of therapy, Rachel is willing to try anything to help break away from her Ukrainian lover, who has subjected her to years of bondage and brutality and now threatens to kidnap their son. The increasingly complex attachment between Madeleine and Rachel has dire consequences and leads them into a turbulent maelstrom which neither could have predicted and which neither is able to control. BLOODPRINT is a haunting psychological thriller that takes the reader on a journey from the exotic and quirky southernmost island of the USA, with its darker underbelly of Afro-Cuban sorcery, to the Georgian splendour of Bath. At the heart of this journey lies the fate of a child.ISBN:9781847393104
