HOW DO YOU CATCH A KILLER WHO ENJOYS THE FEAR HE CREATES?A chilling serial killer thriller from the Sunday Times bestselling author or international phenomenon, The Whisper Man--For DI Andrew Hicks, solving a murder is logical: your first suspicions are usually right. So when the body of a young woman is found, Hicks immediately turns his attention to the most likely culprit – her possessive ex-husband. But when a second body is found, killed in near identical circumstances, Hicks is forced to think again about his suspect. As the death toll starts rising, Hicks realises he’s dealing with something much darker – and deadlier – than he’d imagined. A serial killer is at large – one who revels in chaos. To stop the senseless murders, Hicks must bring the killer to justice. But will his own demons stand in the way? --Praise for Alex North'The best crime novel of the decade' Steve Cavanagh'A thriller that is both terrifying and utterly heartbreaking.Mesmerising and masterful' Mark Billingham'This is a true skin-crawler' Guardian'Shades of Thomas Harris and Stephen King but brilliant in its own right' C.J.Tudor'First it's spooky.
