About this listen
Stunning new psychological thriller from the bestselling author of The Straw Men.
When ex-LAPD patrol cop Jack Whalen’s wife goes missing on a routine business trip to Seattle, his world is shaken.
Meanwhile, a ten-year-old girl vanishes from a beach in Oregon after an encounter with a sinister stranger – but it gradually becomes clear that she’s very far from defenceless.
Searching for answers in the shadowy secrets of a past that still haunts him, Jack discovers that the truth has roots deeper and darker than he ever feared.

'A definite page-turner – and a terrifying discourse on the nature of human evil and the darkness among us…this is as fierce as crime writing can get.' Guardian
‘The taut pace, crisp style and ever-present sense of menace are those of a top-drawer thriller.’ Telegraph
‘Marshall is a cracker at writing tense, rich scenes.’ Observer
‘Just when you think there’s nothing new under the sun in the world of the suspense novel, along comes one hell of a nasty spider called The Straw Men. It’s brilliantly written and scary as hell. Be the first on your block to stay up all night with this one; it’s a masterpiece, reminding us that even paranoids really do have enemies.’ Stephen King
'A staggering, suspenseful journey through the darkness of American crime … succeeds in revitalising the serial killer novel with assured gusto… A new beginning for a major British writer, whose crime debut instantly moves him into the Thomas Harris division' Guardian
‘Brilliantly plotted, stunningly written…I read this in one go…if this isn't a hit, I am a monkey's uncle. And I don't think I am’. Independent on Sunday
