Description

'Chilling, intelligent, and highly addictive. Superb.' Will Dean, author of Dark Pines

Three women have been found dead in East Anglia. The police deny a connection. TV news reporter Frankie smells a story . . .

Ava knows that the threat is real. She's been kidnapped by someone claiming to be the killer: a stranger who seems to know everything about her.

As Frankie follows the case, she enters a terrifying online world where men's rage against women may be turning murderous - and where her persistence might just make her a target. And Ava must struggle not only to stay alive . . . but to stay sane.

From journalist and the author of The Wolf Den, The Death Knock is a compelling story of the worst that man can do and the hunt for the truth - at all costs.

Critic Reviews

“A splendidly unsettling debut - a chilling mystery to be read with the lights on and your back to the wall.”

I tore through this book, my heart hammering with Ava's and my head pounding with Frankie's. Fast-paced, unpredictable, and disturbingly real, THE DEATH KNOCK reminds us at every turn what is so frightening about that which is so immediate. Do not flip the page without keeping one eye on the last!

Gripping, chilling and physically impossible to put down. She scares me. But I loved every second of it.

Elodie Harper employs her journalistic background to great effect by breathing life into her gritty news reporter protagonist as she pursues a terrifying serial killer in East Anglia. Frankie's investigations lead her into increasing levels of danger including the menacing attentions of a rabidly misogynistic blogger, a warped advocate of the so-called men's rights movement. A highly-charged and topical thriller.

Gripping and suspenseful.
