Sweet William is a breathtakingly dark thriller that spans forty-eight hours in the life of a desperate father and a three-year-old child in peril, who needs insulin to stay alive. It tells a story of mental illness, a foster family under pressure, and an angry father separated from his adored little boy. Brilliant and terrifying, this is a debut novel whose impact will linger long beyond the chase and its shattering climax.
