The Man Made of Smoke: A chilling psychological thriller from the bestselling author of The Whisper Man
"Brought to you by Penguin.
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…
Daniel Garvie was a teenager when he encountered a serial killer: ‘the man made of smoke.’
Unlike the victims, he survived.
Now Dan’s a criminal psychiatrist, unpicking the motives of the darkest killers.
But he’s never forgotten that first encounter. The man made of smoke still haunts him.
When his father – a retired policeman obsessed with unsolved cases – disappears after finding a body, Dan rushes home, fearing the worst.
Wondering what old case his father was investigating, Dan is horrified to find himself drawn back to his own terrible childhood encounter.
And this time there is no escape . . .
