The Alpha Flame - Catherine Lynwood

. .

Résumé :
Some girls survive. Others set the world on fire. The Alpha Flame: Discovery is a gripping literary thriller set in 1983 Birmingham, a raw and unflinching exploration of trauma, identity, and the unexpected bond between two women shaped by the same hidden past. Maggie lives fast and questions everything. Fierce, independent, and never quite settled, she's used to pushing boundaries, but a chance encounter with a quiet, wounded stranger sparks a connection she can't explain. Beth, barely surviving in a world of exploitation and silence, is haunted by a past she doesn't fully remember and a truth she's too afraid to face. As their stories begin to intertwine, the walls between them, and within them, begin to crack. A missing girl. A wedding photograph. A ruined mental hospital. What Maggie uncovers will change everything, not just for Beth, but for herself too. But the deeper they go, the more dangerous it becomes. Some secrets don't want to be found. Some men will kill to keep them buried. And some truths burn hotter than any lie. Discovery is the first novel in The Alpha Flame Trilogy, a series that blends psychological suspense, deep emotional realism, and fierce, unforgettable characters. A dark, elegant story about survival, sisterhood, and the fire that refuses to die....
