Inkubator Books is thrilled to announce that The Daughter’s Secret from Ian Blackwood will be published on Amazon on March 22, 2026.

The person who knows you best can hurt you most.

Gemma has spent twenty years burying her past. Now she’s married to Mike, a good man who has no idea that his wife is the daughter of a convicted killer. Nor does he know about the violent temper Gemma fights to control or the fear that keeps her awake at night: that she inherited more than her mother’s eyes.

When Gemma wakes in a hotel room with no memory of the night before—the same night a man was murdered two floors above her—she’s terrified the darkness in her blood has finally won.

And she’s got plenty to worry about. Her earring is found in the dead man’s room. Her handprint on his door. A bloodied knife in her bag.

But the real danger isn’t the police investigation closing in around her. It’s the one person she trusted with everything. The person who has been quietly watching her for twenty years. Waiting for the perfect moment to destroy her.

The Daughter’s Secret – the chilling psychological thriller perfect for fans of Lucy Foley, Ruth Ware, and Daniel Hurst.
