Bloody Kids
Something’s wrong at Lizard Farm. Something’s very wrong...
As the snow falls on an isolated English village, grieving father Adam Smith decides to end his life – only to be interrupted by the sudden appearance of a mysterious little girl. Believing she may know the truth about his son, he sets off in pursuit.
Not far away, the cop in charge of investigating the death of Smith’s son finds his investigations taking an uncomfortably personal turn. He, too, is on a hunt for the truth. He, too, will be plunged into a world of unspeakable horror.
Both men are heading for Lizard Farm, where Agatha Doyle rules her five foster children with a rod of iron.
Except Agatha’s not been feeling herself lately, so the kids are in charge now.
And they’re playing by a set of different rules.
Gripping, feverish, visceral and shocking – at times darkly funny – Bloody Kids is a nightmare descent into a world of gut-wrenching revelation and gore-soaked carnage. You’ll want to put it down. You won’t be able to.
