A dark and twisted early thriller from the dark master of suspense, Alex North

For DI Andrew Hicks, solving a murder is logical- your first suspicions are usually right. So when the brutally beaten 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, similarly beaten, 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?

Reviews for Dark Room

Praise for Alex North -- : The best crime novel of the decade -- Steve Cavanagh A dark, creepy thriller with a huge amount of heart -- Stuart MacBride A thriller that is both terrifying and utterly heartbreaking. Mesmerising and masterful -- Mark Billingham First it's spooky. Then it's scary. Then it's terrifying -- A.J. Finn Shades of Thomas Harris and Stephen King but brilliant in its own right -- C.J. Tudor
