The Atlas Children

Nina Foster has spent years helping women become mothers at Aurelia Fertility, one of Britain's most admired private clinics. She believes in the work, the people behind it, and the families whose lives have changed because of it. Then Aurelia's former data-protection director dies after sending DI Amara Shaw four words: "Ask them who asked." Amara arrives convinced the death is connected to the clinic's billionaire founders. Nina sees something very different: a detective threatening frightened patients, damaging reputations and tearing into an institution that has helped thousands of women. The two clash almost immediately. But as Amara follows the dead man's final warning, the questions surrounding his death become harder to contain. Someone is hiding something. Someone is watching the investigation. And whatever began inside Aurelia may reach far beyond a fertility clinic. The deeper Amara goes, the more dangerous one question becomes: Who asked?
