A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

Little Gemma's back was a mess of angry-looking scar tissue. The burns must have caused her agony for weeks. My head spun as we struggled to control our shock. Tears were already streaming down my colleagues' faces.
In Baby X we learned how super-tough cop Harry Keeble and his colleagues in Hackney's Child Protection Unit rescued dozens of kids, faced lynch mobs and undertook the impossible job of interviewing paedophiles. Now, in Little Victim, Harry takes us through an extraordinary year in the life of the unit, as the team investigates some of the worst cases of child abuse they've ever encountered.
These include a middle-class mother who shook her baby to death, the children kept in a cage, the rape of a three-year-old boy and an innocent grandfather falsely accused of paedophila. Little Victim provides a unique insight into the complex issue of child abuse in the UK. Continuing his battle to bring Britain's child abusers to justice, Harry is pushed right to the edge as he confronts horrors past and present.
Praise for Baby X:
'Powerful and moving. I didn't think I could be shocked any more until I read Baby X' Cathy Glass
'The subject matter is obviously heavy…But the pace crackles from case to case - with Harry's fight to save neglected and abused kids taking him around the world'
Five stars, News of the World
