Why a Booktrail?
1980s, 2000s: If it had happened to you, you would have run away too…
The Shadow Friend
What you need to know before your trail
Twenty-five years ago, Paul’s friend Charlie Crabtree brutally killed their classmate – and then vanished without a trace.
Paul’s never forgiven himself for his part in what happened. He’s never gone back home.
Until his elderly mother has a fall. It’s finally time to stop running.
It’s not long before things start to go wrong. His mother claims there’s someone in the house. Paul realises someone is following him. And, in a town many miles away, a copycat killer has struck.
Which makes him wonder – what really happened to Charlie the day of the murder?
And can anyone stop it happening again?
Travel Guide
Travel to Featherbank village
A fictional village somewhere in England. It’s the place you would go to to escape life, to rest and relax and to make a fresh start. Fictional too thank goodness as It’s only recently that The Whisperman roamed its streets. Now we have The Shadow Friend. Best not to live here if it were real.
It’s a dark place and one where Paul used to live. You know something bad happened and Paul’s never been back since. Now his mother says someone is in the house and it’s clear someone is following Paul.
This is a village where nothing and no-one is what they seem. It’s a small, dark, claustrophobic place. And in a town many miles away, a copycat killer has struck.
Best to avoid the area altogether when you think about it.
