FARM, THE by Tom Rob Smith - SIGNED FIRST EDITION BOOK
See all titles by Tom Rob Smith.
Until the moment he receives a
frantic call from his father, Daniel believed his parents were headed
into a peaceful, well-deserved retirement. They had sold their home and
business in London and bid farewell to England, setting off to begin
life anew on a remote, bucolic farm in rural Sweden.
But with that phone call, everything changes. Your mother's not well, his father tells him. She's been imagining things-terrible, terrible things. She has had a psychotic breakdown and been committed to a mental hospital.
Daniel prepares to rush to Sweden
on the first available flight. Before he can board the plane, his
father contacts him with even more frightening news: his mother has
discharged herself from hospital and he doesn't know where she is.
Then his mother calls:
"I'm sure your father has spoken
to you. Everything that man has told you is a lie. I'm not mad. I don't
need a doctor. I need the police. I'm about to board a flight to
London. Meet me at Heathrow."
Caught between his parents, and
unsure of who to believe or trust, Daniel becomes his mother's unwilling
judge and jury as she tells him an urgent tale of secrets, of lies, of a
horrible crime and a conspiracy that implicates his own father.
