Deny Friendship

A boy nobody knew existed is found in an old man’s house… and nobody can even remotely guess his story.

Open the door on this intense but fun multi-layered mystery and let the darkest of secrets pull you inside.


His latest foster child could be the death of Frank’s best friend

Police discover a nine-year-old hidden away in a rundown Edinburgh house. Social services place the mystery boy in the care of emergency foster parents Claire and Steven Northward, Frank Friendship’s best friend.

But all is not well in the Northward household. The couple is at war and this latest addition to the fostered family is about to turn the conflict thermonuclear: the boy is convinced that Steven is a molester.

Meanwhile Frank has his own crazy ideas about how to rescue Steven’s marriage and he’s caught in the middle when everything explodes. And now there’s more at stake. Because the Northwards’ new foster son really is in danger, and staying with the couple might be the only thing keeping him—and Steven—alive.
