A terrifying, twist-filled early novel from the dark master of the truly scary thriller, Alex North.

The 50/50 Killer preys on couples. He manipulates their love for each other and makes them play a game. He stalks them, tortures them, and then forces them to choose.

What is going to break first? Their will or their love for each other?

Only two things are certainβ€”one of them will die, and the other will have killed them.
