You think you know your friends. I thought that too . . .

25 years ago, Paul's friend Charlie Crabtree did something truly terrible.

Now, finally returning home, Paul is forced to remember that horrifying day . . .

Because in another town, a copycat killer has struck.
Paul's mother claims she's heard something in the house.
And Paul realises someone is following him.

Which reminds him of the two questions he's never been able to answer:

What really happened to Charlie on the day of the murder?
And can Paul stop it happening again?

A. J. Finn, no.1 bestselling author of The 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'
