<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>She began to sing, the girl. Her voice was soft, so soft it was almost of the wind. It was a lullaby. She cradled her arms, rocking them gently back and forth. As if she was holding a baby. But she was not. Her arms were empty.</strong><br /> <br /> On a cold morning a cyclist finds the brutally slaughtered body of a woman in her car, on a remote lane leading to the long-abandoned Irish village of Kelly's Forge.<br /> <br /> But when <strong>Detective Finnegan Beck</strong> arrives from the nearby town of Cross Beg to investigate he notices there's a baby's seat in the back of the car. A bottle of baby's milk lying in the footwell. And no child.<br /> <br /> <strong>Little Róisín isn't the first child to go missing</strong> from that same remote location though. <strong>There was another baby girl, taken more than fifty years before, who was never found.</strong> Has too much time passed for there to be a connection, or does something - or someone - link these two crimes?<br /> <br /> Beck claims he does not want to stay in Cross Beg. His heart is back in Dublin, with the woman he loves. But, knowing that a child's life depends on him changes things. He knows he has to find the missing baby girl. Because if he doesn't, he fears there's a chance everyone will give up the baby for dead, just like they did before...<br /> <br /> <strong>This dark, twisted page turner will keep you up all night. Perfect for fans of LJ Ross, Patricia Gibney, and Rachel Caine.</strong><br /> </p><p>Readers are loving <em>The Child Before</em>: </p><p><br /> 'An amazing book... <strong>Lots of twists and turns</strong>...
