Alex North The Man Made of Smoke

The terrifying new serial killer thriller from the author of the international bestseller and major Netflix movie, The Whisper Man ‘Chills to the bone...a haunting portrait of a psychopath and the psychiatrist trying to understand what drives him’ Daily Mail ‘A haunting, atmospheric story...Truly a white-knuckle read from start to finish’ Tracy Sierra ***** You never forget the day you meet a serial killer. Dan was just a teenager when he saw the man made of smoke, silent, watchful, vanishing into the mist. He was too scared to move, too scared to stop him. He’s carried the guilt ever since. Now a criminal psychiatrist, Dan spends his life trying to understand the darkest minds. But when his father disappears, he’s pulled back to the remote island he once called home, where something unsettling is waking. A body has been found. The past is reaching through the fog. And the man made of smoke might never have left. This time, Dan has to face what’s been waiting in the dark. -- Praise for Alex North 'As terrifying as a great horror novel, as unpredictable as the best type of crime novel and above all beautifully written...a writer who is an absolute master of his craft' Jane Casey 'This is absorbing, headlong reading, a play on classic horror with an inventiveness of its own' New York Times 'Hugely atmospheric and deliciously creepy' Alex Michaelides
