Cummins 'There is a precision about Delaney's characters that propels his
twisty plots into unexpected and utterly convincing scenarios' Daily Mail Pete
Riley answers the door one morning to a parent's worst nightmare. On his
doorstep is Miles Lambert, who breaks the devastating news that Pete's two-
year-old, Theo, isn't Pete's real son - their babies got mixed up at birth.
The two families - Pete, his partner Maddie, and Miles and his wife Lucy -
agree that, rather than swap the boys back, they'll try to find a more
flexible way to share their children's lives. But a plan to sue the hospital
triggers an investigation that unearths disturbing questions about just what
happened the day the babies were switched. And when Theo is thrown out of
nursery for hitting other children, Maddie and Pete have to ask themselves:
how far do they want this arrangement to go? What secrets lie hidden behind
the Lamberts' smart front door? How much can they trust the real parents of
their child - or even each other? An addictive psychological thriller, perfect
for fans of The Silent Patient and Shari Lapena's The Couple Next Door.
