About this ebook
The truth is more terrifying than you can imagine.
Darren and Beth Lynwood always dreamed of having a son, but when young amnesiac runaway Adam enters their lives, he brings with him a creeping darkness that threatens to engulf their family and everyone around them.
When Adam's memories claw their way to the surface, Darren finds himself haunted by thoughts of his own childhood - and of a boy very much like Adam who was done an unspeakable wrong.
As buried secrets are unearthed, the Lynwood's happy home becomes the hunting ground for a relentless evil and an obsession that will not die.
There's no point locking the door.
There's no use shutting out the night.
Because the orphan is already inside.
Dare you read to the end of The Orphan? Discover the chilling new novel from the author of The Birthing House and The People Next Door.
