Autor Alex North
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 iul 2020
THE GRIPPING NEW PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF RICHARD & JUDY BOOK CLUB PICKTHE WHISPER MAN

The victim was his friend. So was the murderer.


Twenty-five years ago, troubled teenager Charlie Crabtree committed a shocking and unprovoked murder.

For Paul Adams, it's a day he'll never forget. He's never forgiven himself for his part in what happened to his friend and classmate. He's never gone back home.

But when his elderly mother has a fall, it's finally time to stop running.

It's not long before things start to go wrong. A copycat killer has struck, bringing back painful memories. Paul's mother insists there's something in the house. And someone is following him . . .

Which reminds him of the most unsettling thing about that awful day twenty-five years ago.

It wasn't just the murder.

It was the fact that afterwards, Charlie Crabtree was never seen again . . .


Praise for Alex North

'The best crime novel of the decade'
Steve Cavanagh, bestselling author ofThirteen

'First it's spooky. Then it's scary. Then it's terrifying. And then . . . well, dear reader, proceed
at your own risk. An ambitious, deeply satisfying thriller - a seamless blend of Harlan Coben, Stephen King, and Thomas Harris. My flesh is still crawling'
A. J. Finn, no.1 bestselling author ofThe Woman in the Window

'Alex North has achieved the seemingly impossible. The Whisper Man is a thriller that is both terrifying and utterly heartbreaking. Mesmerising and masterful'
Mark Billingham

Recenzii

Alex North has outdone himself. As terrifying as a great horror novel, as unpredictable as the best type of crime novel and above all beautifully written,The Shadow Friendis the work of a writer who is an absolute master of his craft. I couldn't begin to guess how the story was going to end but I enjoyed every second of the journey
If you likedThe Whisper Man, you'll love this. Alex North has crafted a second novel which is just as gripping as his first and even scarier.Hugely atmospheric and deliciously creepy, it's about how the past encroaches on the present, and how dreaming influences reality, until in the frightening world ofThe Shadow Friend, it becomes harder and harder to tell one from the other... and the nightmare takes over
This isabsorbing, headlong reading, a play on classic horror with an inventiveness of its own...As with all the best illusions, you are left feeling not tricked, but full of wonder
North has returned with another creepy, atmospheric taleexploring the devastating effects of childhood traumas on communities . . .Builds to a surprising and moving finale that will live long in the memory
With echoes of the chilling Slender Man myth, this thriller ultimately feels like a ghost story conjured out of guilt and loss
Northfollows up his sensational debut, 2019'sThe Whisper Man, with another terrifying spine-tingler... The complex plot shifts smoothly between past and present withnumerous unexpected twists. An overwhelming atmosphere of doom and disaster hovers over the perennial darkness of the nearby woods.This heart-pounding page-turner is impossible to put down
The layers of deception make for a chilling read
