The Half Burnt House

A serial killer, a mysterious lost book, and a woman with one last chance to save her family—the chilling new thriller from the author of The Whisper Man.

Katie always prided herself on being a responsible big sister—until she left her brother Chris alone for one selfish afternoon, and everything fell apart. Although he survived the attack, the scars ran deep—physical and emotional. Now they're adults, and they haven't spoken in years.

Then she gets a call—from a detective. A body has been found in a sprawling mansion—one that remains half-ruined by a decades-old fire. Chris is the prime suspect.

Katie knows this might be her last, best chance to save her brother. But she doesn't realise that this isn't the first murder—and so she doesn't know how much danger she's in...
