Entertainment Weekly

In this dark, suspenseful thriller, Alex North weaves a multi-generational tale of a father and son caught in the crosshairs of an investigation to catch a serial killer preying on a small town.


After the sudden death of his wife, Tom Kennedy believes a fresh start will help him and his young son Jake heal. A new beginning, a new house, a new town. Featherbank.

“Not as dark as I was expecting- I’d heard about it from someone saying it was the “scariest book they’ve read”. It’s not, but it’s definitely twisty and creepy!”
