THIS I WOULD KILL FOR
This I Would Kill For is the third novel featuring forensic psychiatrist Natalie King.
Natalie King has been hired to do a psychiatric evaluation for the children's court. A custody dispute. Not her usual territory, but now that she's pregnant she's happy to do a simple consult.
Turns out Jenna and Malik's break-up is anything but simple. He claims she's crazy and compulsive; she claims he's been abusing their daughter Chelsea.
But what if all the claims are true? Or none? How can Natalie protect the child? And how does she work out where her concerns for Chelsea slide into her growing obsession with her own lost father?
More urgently: with both parents saying they're desperate to keep their daughter safewhat if one of them is desperate enough to kill?
Anne Buist has over twenty-five years of experience in perinatal psychiatry and works with protective services and the legal system in cases of abuse, kidnapping, infanticide and murder. She is the author of Medea's Curse (shortlisted for both Best Debut Novel and Best Adult Novel in the 2016 Davitt Awards) and Dangerous to Know, published in the UK by Legend Press. Most recently, she co-authored Two Steps Forward with Graeme Simsion.
