Als hij naar huis rijdt, ziet Gabe opeens het gezichtje van een meisje achter het raam van een andere auto. Haar lippen vormen één woord: "Papa.' Het is zijn vijfjarige dochter Izzy. Daarna ziet hij haar nooit meer. Drie jaar later rijdt Gabe elke dag op en neer op diezelfde weg, op zoek naar de auto die zijn dochter wegvoerde. Hij weigert de hoop op te geven, zelfs al geloven de meeste mensen in zijn omgeving niet meer dat Izzy nog leeft. Fran en haar dochter Alice bevinden zich ook op die snelweg. Zij zijn niet op zoek, ze zijn op de vlucht. Ze proberen de mensen die hen pijn willen doen telkens één stap voor te blijven. Want Fran kent de waarheid. Zij weet wat er gebeurd is met Gabes dochter. Zij weet wie er verantwoordelijk is. En ze weet wat ze zullen doen als ze haar en Alice zullen vinden…

"500 years ago: eight martyrs burned. 30 years ago: two teenagers vanished. Two months ago: a vicar died mysteriously. Welcome to Chapel Croft. For Rev. Jack Brooks and teenage daughter Flo, it's a fresh start. New job, new home. But in a close-knit community, old superstitions and a mistrust of outsiders mean treading carefully. Yet right away, Jack has more frightening concerns. Why did no one say that the last vicar killed himself? Why is Flo plagued by visions of burning girls? And who is sending them threatening messages? Old ghosts with scores to settle can never rest. And Jack is standing in their way..."--Back cover.

A small Alaskan town. A brutal murder. Echoes of a killing twenty-five years ago. An out-of-state detective brought in to assist the sheriff who investigated the original case. But as the snow thickens and the nights grow longer...are they hunting a twisted psychopath or something even more terrifying?

An overturned coach full of students. All of them are trapped. A stranded cable car full of strangers. One of them is dead. An isolated chalet full of friends. Soon they'll be enemies.

The Chalk Man is coming ... It was 1986 when a teenage Eddie Munster helped save Waltzer girl's life. That summer was the one that changed everything. It was the one they came up with the chalk men - drawing them on the pavement in a secret code. But then the chalk men started to appear on their own volition, prophesying grisly scenes on the dusty pavement. They knew about the body in the river. And knew about Waltzer girl's corpse lying still in the wood without a head. It's 2016 and Eddie is still living in Anderbury, teaching at his old school and living with a lodger, Chloe. Life is quiet. Life is rather empty. Until the day the chalk men reappear.

One night, Annie went missing. Disappeared from her own bed. There were searches, appeals. Everyone thought the worst. And then, miraculously, after forty-eight hours, she came back. But she couldn't, or wouldn't, say what had happened to her ... Something happened to my sister. I can't explain what. I just know that when she came back, she wasn't the same. She wasn't my Annie. I didn't want to admit, even to myself, that sometimes I was scared to death of my own little sister. Now ... The email arrived in my inbox two months ago. I almost deleted it straight away, but then I clicked OPEN: "I know what happened to your sister. It's happening again."
