Summary

A shocking double-murder scene greets Detective Inspector Philip Brennan when he is called to a flat in Colchester. Two women are viciously cut open and laying spread-eagled, one tied to the bed, one on the floor. The woman on the bed has had her stomach cut into and her unborn child is missing. But this is the third time Phil and his team have seen such an atrocity. Two other pregnant women have been killed in this way and their babies taken from them. No one can imagine what sort of person would want to commit such horrible crimes. When psychologist Marina Esposito is brought in, Phil has to put aside his feelings about their shared past and get on with the job. But can they find the killer before another woman is targeted?

Reviews

“A crackling read that promises to keep you up all night.”

“A fantastic debut.”

With a plot line that ensnares from the off, and a comprehensive cast of characters, Carver’s debut novel sets the crime thriller bar high. A hard act to follow.”

“Carver’s expert timing is aided by her prose, deceptively laconic but with a constant forward push…Plot devices are spun until they scream, and even the Perils of Pauline ending works enough startling changes to keep you up past lights-out.”

“In Carver’s impressive debut, an intense British police procedural, Colchester Det. Insp. Philip Brennan and his team investigate the gruesome murders of pregnant women whose unborn children are cut from their bodies…Carver never crosses the line into gratuitous violence, while myriad clues and surprising twists keep the reader off-kilter. Fans of Mo Hayder, Chelsea Cain, and Karin Slaughter will find much to like.”

“Shocking, gruesome, and compelling…this book is so powerful you just won’t want it to end.”

“Tania Carver delivers a dark, sexy thriller in her relentlessly suspenseful debut The Surrogate. If you haven’t discovered this talented newcomer yet, hurry. She’s on her way to the top.”
