A riveting and brilliantly plotted subconscious suspense, this whip-smart debut could keep listeners guessing right up to the surprising ending. In 1986, Eddie and his friend are just kids on the verge of adolescence. They spend their times biking around their sleepy little English village and looking for any taste of pleasure they can get. The chalk men are their magic formula code: little chalk stick information they leave for each other as communications only they can understand. But a strange chalk man leads them to a dismembered body, and little or nothing will ever be the same. In 2016, Eddie is fully grown, and believes he's put his history behind him. But he gets a letter in the email containing an individual chalk stick shape. When as it happens his other friends received the same communications, they think maybe it's a prank...until one of them turns up dead. That's when Eddie realizes that saving himself means finally determining what really happened all those years ago. Expertly alternating between flashbacks and present, The Chalk Man is the very best kind of suspense novel, one where every character is wonderfully fleshed out and persuasive, where every unknown has a satisfying payoff, and where in fact the twists will shock even the savviest listener.
