THE WRONG SON: A Gripping Psychological Thriller of Domestic Suspense and Family Secrets
He calls you Mom. He sleeps in your son’s bed. But you know he is lying.
Elena Vance got the miracle every grieving mother prays the police found her missing son. After three years of silence, nine-year-old Leo is coming home.
The reunion should be perfect. But from the moment he walks through the door, the atmosphere shifts. The house feels colder. The family dog, once Leo’s protector, cowers in fear. Small details don’t add up—a missing scar, a forgotten memory, a flash of adult anger in a child’s eyes.
As Elena’s doubt grows, so does the danger. Is she suffering from a delusion brought on by grief, or has she invited a monster into her home? With her ex-husband and the police convinced of the boy’s identity, Elena is left to face the chilling reality alone.
She must uncover the truth about the boy across the hall before he realizes she knows. Because in this house, only one of them will survive the night.
