Book Synopsis




"Fans of Thomas Harris will be creeped out by North's hair-raising antagonist... This is a winner."

--Publishers Weekly

The latest gripping serial killer thriller from the New York Times bestselling author Alex North.

Dan Garvie's life has been haunted by the crime he witnessed as a child--narrowly escaping an encounter with a notorious serial killer. He has dedicated his life since to becoming a criminal profiler, eager to seek justice for innocent victims. So when his father passes away under suspicious circumstances, Dan revisits his small island community, determined to uncover the truth about his death. Is it possible that the monster he remembers from his childhood nightmares has returned after all these years?

With his signature shock and suspense, Alex North brings us The Man Made of Smoke. In turn emotional, introspective, and utterly terrifying, this is a story of fathers and sons, shadows and secrets, and the fight we all face to escape the trauma of the past.

Gripping From The First Page To The End

What I enjoy the most about his novels is how we see two perspectives, one that never fails to raise that sense of dread and the other a mystery unraveling before our eyes. The Man Made of Smoke delivers that and more. While we have suspense, twists and a mystery in our hands, this book also explores that father and son relationship with its main characters. If you crave stories that weave a sense of dread, psychological depth and masterful plotting, this one won't just satisfy—it'll haunt you long after the final page. It certainly hasn't released its grip on me. I received a complimentary e-ARC for this book and all opinions are my own.
