English Summary/英文概要： Who will help you when the world is convinced that you are your own worst enemy?
Zoe Beck’s recent novel THE OLD CHILD fascinates the reader from the first page on. Once again the author verifies her fame for psychological creation of characters and constellations. A tremendous tension is being created by the two interwoven time levels the thriller is based on: Berlin in the 80s and Edinburgh in the present. This book is a recommendation to fans of psychologically dense suspense literature by Anglo-Saxon authors like Minette Walters and Val McDermid.
The well-known Berlin gallery owner Carla is convinced that her daughter has been switched in the hospital as a child. However, nobody wants to believe her. Even more so, as it turns out that her child suffers from an immedicable disease. But Carla does not give up searching for her real daughter, which costs her much more than her family in the end.
Also nobody believes Fiona. As the young woman claims that somebody is attempting to kill her, nobody takes it seriously. Not until her roommate, who looks confusingly similar to her, is found dead, the police starts searching for the murderer. As Fiona finds out that she has been kidnapped as a child, the life and death game begins. Because somebody does not want the truth to be revealed …
