Présentation de l'éditeur

 It is three days before Christmas, and two young girls have disappeared from the local academy.  This hasn’t happened for fifteen years, since Rouge Kendall’s twin sister was murdered.  The killer was found, but now Rouge, twenty-five and a policeman, is forced to wonder: Was he really the one?  Also wondering is a former classmate named Ali Cray, a forensic psychologist with scars of her own.  The pattern is the same, she says: a child called out to meet a friend.  The friend is the bait, the Judas child, and is quickly killed.  But the primary victim lives longer...until Christmas Day.
     Rouge doesn’t want to hear this.  He’s spent the last fifteen years trying to avoid the
memories: drinking alone, lying low, washing out of school and a promising first career. Now he might abandon law enforcement too—but something won’t let him, not yet.  A little girl has haunted his dreams all these years—and he has three days finally to put her to rest.

Revue de presse

"Few readers will be able to resist the charms of her lyrical prose or her daringly original plot, and anyone unmoved by the soul-shattering climax should give up reading fiction altogether." (Booklist)

"A heart-stopping, twist-in-the-tail novel of intelligence and suspense. True thrills don't come cheap, but they sometimes come as well-written and mesmerising as this." (Frances Fyfield, Mail on Sunday)

"Scarily good" (Richard North Patterson)

"A menacing and unsettling thriller set against a mysterious winter landscape that reflects the cold heart of a serial killer . . . O'Connell is a consummate story teller . . . a unique talent who deserves to be a household name. Judas Child is a scary monster of a book that should make her just that." (Val McDermid, Express)

"Compulsive reading, a genuine page-turner, in which the "whodunnit" is only part of the puzzle" (Peter Millar The Times)
