A secret is not a secret if somebody else knows...

15-year-old Toby, bright, ambitious and in love, is about to find out that his whole life has been based upon a lie. And the man he trusts and turns to for advice and guidance, isn’t who he says he is.


It’s the sweltering summer of 1976. Gangs clash at the Notting Hill Carnival. The rock band, Queen, hold a free concert in Hyde Park. And Toby is offered an amazing opportunity that promises to turn his life around. But amid the revelry and fanfare, danger lurks when a closely guarded family secret falls into the hands of a madman, with dramatic and scary consequences.

This is book 3 in the series 'Every Parent's Fear', a story inspired by the notorious thalidomide scandal of the 1960s.
