      Pete Riley is a stay-at-home dad; his partner Maddie works in advertising. After Pete drops two-year-old Theo off at nursery one morning, he's politely accosted by a man who looks just like Theo. The man, Miles Lambert, breaks the devastating news that Theo is in fact not Pete's son, but his - the two babies got mixed up at hospital, and Miles and his wife Lucy now have the Rileys' son at home. They've already carried out DNA testing to prove it. The two couples agree that, rather than swap the children back, they'll try to involve each other in the children's lives. But a plan to sue the hospital triggers an official investigation that unearths some disturbing questions about just how the babies got mixed up. And when Theo is thrown out of nursery for hitting other children, Pete and Maddie have to ask themselves: how far do they want this arrangement to go? What are the secrets hidden behind the Lamberts' smart front door? And how much can they trust the real parents of their child - or even each other?

      Der SPIEGEL-Bestseller des internationalen Erfolgsautors jetzt im Taschenbuch! Endlich schließt du sie in deine Arme. Endlich eine zweite Chance. Doch du ahnst nicht, wen du in dein Haus lässt ... Der neue Thriller des internationalen Bestsellerautors! »Hallo, ich bin Anna. Aber geboren wurde ich als Sky und ich glaube, dass du meine leibliche Mutter bist.« Diese Nachricht trifft Susie wie ein Schlag in die Magengrube. Tatsächlich hat sie vor 15 Jahren als junge, mittellose Musikerin ihre Tochter zur Adoption freigegeben – und diese Entscheidung seitdem stets bitter bereut. Als Anna dann über ihre strengen Adoptiveltern berichtet, ist Susie überzeugt, dass das Mädchen Hilfe braucht. In der Hoffnung, ihren Fehler aus der Vergangenheit wieder gutzumachen, nimmt sie Anna bei sich auf. Doch das Mädchen verhält sich seltsam und verstrickt sich mehr und mehr in Lügen. Eine nur verständliche Reaktion auf die traumatischen Zustände in ihrer Adoptivfamilie? Oder steckt mehr dahinter? Was sind die wirklichen Gründe für die Adoption vor 15 Jahren? Und wer hütet hier welches Geheimnis? »Spannend vom Anfang bis zum Ende – ich konnte die Seiten nicht schnell genug umblättern!« Claire Douglas
