In this gripping sequel to The First Friend, Malcolm Knox revisits the ambitious Lavrentiy Beria – Stalin’s longest serving secret police chief. In this palace of intrigue and deception, Beria has a secret weapon, his best friend's daughter Melor Murtova, who plays a dangerous game outwitting treacherous power plays and the capricious whims of her frenemies. Against a backdrop of international politics, spying and the true-history intrigue of the closing days of World War Two, The Second Child is a chilling black comedy about survival in the court of madmen.
