Overview
A Hollywood dynasty. A deadly secret. A nanny caught in a killer's spotlight. Zoe's latest nanny gig seems perfect. This one is in Hollywood, and she's looking after thirteen-year-old Talon Penrose, son of A-list actress Rose Marlowe. There's sunshine, sandy beaches, and a sprawling Hollywood Hills mansion. Only behind the gates of the Marlowe estate, the family is competing for their father's film empire. And Zoe is approached with a secret assignment: spy on the people who sign her paychecks. After all, Rose's father has to choose his heir somehow. But then a member of the family turns up dead. And when a private investigator's body washes ashore, Zoe realizes the two deaths are connected-and the killer is far from finished. To protect Talon, Zoe must untangle decades of lies, including the truth behind matriarch Isabella Marlowe's mysterious drowning thirty years earlier. Because in this family, the past isn't just haunting... It's hunting. Child's Prey is the next chilling installment in The Nanny Problem Thrillers from best-selling authors Lauren Street and Nolon King.

Author Information
Nolon King writes smart psychological thrillers designed to leave you on the edge of your seat. His stories are dark, twisty, and often decidedly close to home.He's not afraid to explore the darker side of human nature through stories featuring families torn apart by secrets and lies. If you enjoy reading authors like Darcey Bell and Harlan Coban, movies like A Simple Favor and The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, or shows like Ozark and Dead to Me, you'll love Nolon King.When not writing you will find Nolon drinking black coffee and observing humans in their natural habitats. Lauren Street has always loved a mystery. As a kid growing up in Bible Belt country, she devoured every whodunit book she could get her sticky little hands on and secretly investigated all of her (seemingly) normal, boring neighbors. Sometimes, their pets and farm animals, too. All grown up now and living in the UK with her thoroughly unsuspicious (and often unsuspecting) husband, she writes domestic psychological thrillers about families torn apart by secrets and lies. And she still sometimes peers over garden walls to check up on the neighbors.
