YOU SAW IT. YOU WERE TOO SCARED TO ACT. BUT NOW IT'S COMING FOR YOU. From the mind behind the
international bestseller The Whisper Man comes a new nightmare... 'Chills to the bone...a
haunting portrait of a psychopath and the psychiatrist trying to understand what drives him'
Daily Mail ' The Man Made of Smoke was in equal parts terrifying creepy thrilling and
moving' Marnie Riches 'A haunting atmospheric story...Truly a white-knuckle read from start
to finish' Tracy Sierra 'Creepy and atmospheric from the first page The Man Made Of Smoke is
as well-written as it is tense' Rachel Wolf -- Dan was just a teenager when he had a
chance encounter with the elusive killer known only as 'The Man Made of Smoke'. Nobody could
blame him for being too scared to intervene for being too scared to save the latest victim
for letting the killer vanish again. Nobody except Dan himself. Years later Dan has a
successful career as a criminal psychiatrist unpicking the very darkest of human behaviour.
Because despite what he saw that day Dan knows there's no such thing as a monster. But now
his father John has gone missing. And when Dan returns to the small island where he grew up
he finds out that not long before his disappearance John had stumbled across a body. As Dan
begins to dig he finds unsettling links stretching all the way back to the man made of smoke.
Which means this might just be a chance to not only save his dad but to finally find
redemption. But what if he's been wrong about that day for all these years. What if he was
right to be scared? -- 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
