Apple of My Eye

A mesmerising psychological thriller from one of British fiction's fastest rising stars When young lawyer Daniel Latimer meets his beautiful step-sister Christina at the funeral of a family friend, little do either of them realise the momentous chain of events that is about to be unleashed. Unhappy, vulnerable and lonely, Christina brings out the protective side of Daniel, and when she arrives in London after a failed relationship, he looks after her, successfully bringing about a rapprochement with her father, Robert - Daniel's step-father. But darker currents soon begin to surface - and when Daniel comes to realise that something very unhealthy is developing between father and daughter, he decides to seek help from the two people closest to Christina: her brother and grandmother. But as he begins to explore her past, he comes to realise that Christina is a far more complex and disturbed personality than either he or Robert have realised, and that by trying to manipulate her emotions, Robert is unleashing demons that he will not be able to control...
