A psychotic patient with two impossible claims.
A leading forensic psychiatrist on the edge.
Its not just Dr. Dominicks career thats in danger...

Forensic psychiatrist Dr. Lily Dominick has evaluated the mental states of some of the countrys most dangerous psychotics. But todays client - a man with no name, accused of the most twisted crime - struck her as different from the others, despite the two impossible claims he made.

First, that he is more than two hundred years old and personally inspired Bram Stoker, Mary Shelley and Robert Louis Stevenson in creating the three novels of the nineteenth-century that define the monstrous in the modern imagination.

Second, that hes her father.

To discover the truth behind her client, Dr. Dominick must embark on a journey that will threaten her career, her sanity, and ultimately her life.

Taut, terrifying and impossible to put down, The Only Child is perfect for fans of Lauren Beukes and Stephen King.
