'A penetrating analysis of Stockholm Syndrome' Guardian

They are called the 'special girls'. How are they special and why were they chosen?

A doctor is found beaten to death in woods close to a summer camp for young women with eating disorders. The camp is run by the charismatic Professor Chesham. DI Grace Fisher is called in, but is quickly pulled from the investigation - to head up a cold case inquiry involving Chesham himself.

Some years earlier, one of Chesham's patients made allegations that he sexually assaulted her.

As Grace uncovers the lies that led to the doctor's murder, she discovers the full extent of the damage done to the special girls - and the danger they are still in.

The Special Girls Avis

Isabelle Grey never loses sight of the impact on victims in . . . this brave and harrowing novel * Sunday Times Crime Book of the Month *
There are plenty of twists to this compelling and compassionate tale, but it's the sensitivity with which Isabelle Grey handles the legacy of harm that gives the story its beating heart -- Sarah Hilary
The story hooks like barbed wire, and is so convincingly told it's hard to believe she's not a cop herself. So of the moment, sensitive to nuances of responsibility, denial, paralysis of will. So much more than a police procedural -- Laline Paull, author of The Bees
A penetrating analysis of Stockholm Syndrome with a notably filmic sensibility * Guardian *
An intelligent, sophisticated police procedural with a completely believable central character and a strong moral core. Emotional and hardhitting, highly recommended * Sinead Crowley, author of Can Anybody Help Me? and Are You Watching Me? *
The sort of book Rendell could have produced . . . the standout crime novel so far of 2017 * Crimesquad *
