The Gospel According to Cane

Beverley Cottrell had a dream life: a prestigious job, a beautiful husband and a new baby boy. But then, one winter afternoon, when her son was barely a few weeks old, Malakay was kidnapped from a parked car. Despite a media campaign, a full police investigation and the offer of a reward, he was never found. Two decades later, Beverley believes that she has finally pieced her life together – until a young man starts appearing wherever she goes. One dark evening the stalker gets past her security door and calls through her letterbox. He tells her not to be scared. He says that he is Malakay, her son. ‘A thrilling read, full of psychological tension and drama ... A stylish, confident novel.’ Yvvette Edwards ‘A gripping tale of loss, despair and hope of redemption.’ Linton Kwesi Johnson ‘One of the most imaginative, free-thinking writers working today. I love his work’ Sarah Hall
