Two phone calls shatter the image a man has about the peaceful life he thought his parents were leading. When each call contradicts the last, he no longer knows who to trust. Which parent will he side with, and which one will he lose? Find out in Tom Rob Smith's mystery thriller: The Farm. Summary of the Book Daniel believes his parents are leading peaceful lives on a serene farm in Sweden. Living in London, he has no idea how wrong he is.

The next phone call is from his mother with an alarmingly different version of the story. She tells him his father has lied to him and that she needs the police. What she has to tell him implicates his father in a terrible crime, and if he sides with either one he will lose the other. What story will he believe and which one is true?
