Description
The Touch of Innocents by Michael Dobbs is a tense, emotionally charged political thriller from the acclaimed author of the Goodfellowe series. At its heart lies the harrowing story of Isadora Dean, a talented and driven television journalist whose world is shattered by the sudden death of her baby daughter, Bella. Refusing to accept the official explanation, Isadora’s relentless quest for the truth leads her into the darkest corners of an international black market where babies are traded for profit — and directly into the orbit of Paul Devereux, one of the country’s most powerful and dangerous politicians.
Dobbs skilfully weaves a taut narrative of power, corruption, and obsession, highlighting the devastating human cost of political ambition. As Isadora edges closer to exposing the sordid underworld and its ties to Devereux, she must confront impossible risks, knowing the search for her daughter could cost her everything. This is a story of one woman’s resilience against a system built to silence her and a chilling reminder of how innocence is often sacrificed for power.
Ideal for readers who appreciate gripping political thrillers with strong female leads and morally complex villains, The Touch of Innocents is a compelling, fast-paced read that lingers long after its final page.
