Second in the Elizabeth McClaine crime fiction series by Author Catherine Lea

CHILD OF THE STATE

"He's first, you're next."

 

That's the message someone scribbled on a photo of Stacy May Charms' six-year-old son, two days before her release from prison.

 

Stacy knows why. She doesn't know who.

 

And she's not waiting around to find out. Her plan is to grab her child and run.

 

From the minute Stacy May breaks parole and goes on the run, Elizabeth McClaine - custodian of the trust responsible for Stacy's early release -  is flung into social and political exile, her reputation in ruins.

 

If Elizabeth is to save Stacy and her son, and clear the name of the trust bearing her name, she must figure out who Stacy's running from -- and why.

 

 

And all the clues point back to those who were supposed to be helping her.
