Summary:

From Robert Barnard, the internationally acclaimed Diamond
Dagger–winning crime writer . .. Kit Philipson has always felt like
something of a stranger in his family. Growing up as the only child
of professional parents in Glasgow, Scotland, he had every advantage.
His mother was a teacher; his father, a journalist, escaped from Nazi
Germany at the age of three on one of the 1939 Kindertransports. But
on her deathbed, Kit’s mother tells him he was adopted and that his
birth name was Novello. Soon, vague memories of his early life begin
to surface: his nursery, pictures on the wall, the smell of his birth
mother when she’d been cooking. And, sometimes, there are more
disturbing memories—of strangers taking him by the hand and leading
him away from the only family he had ever known. A search of old
newspaper files reveals that a three-year-old boy named Peter Novello
was abducted from his parents’ holiday hotel in Sicily in 1989. Now
the young man who has known himself only as Kit sets out to
rediscover his past, the story of two three-year-old boys torn from
their mothers in very different circumstances. Kit’s probing
inquiries are sure to bring surprises. They may also unearth
dangerous secrets that dare never be revealed. With sharp wit and
deep insight, Robert Barnard sweeps away all preconceptions in this
powerful study of maternal love and the danger of obsession.
