Black Flowers by Alex North

A CHILLING THRILLER FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF INTERNATIONAL PHENOMENON, THE WHISPER MAN

'An electrifyingly scary thriller' DAILY MAIL

---

Reeling after his father suddenly takes his own life, Neil Dawson starts seeking out answers to help make sense of this tragedy. He rifles through his father’s possessions and is shocked to discover an old novel – one he’d never known his father had written. The Black Flower.

Enclosed within is a dried rose – eerily similar to the one held in the book by a mysterious girl who is found with no name and no memory – only a black flower in her hand…

Why did his father keep this book hidden? And is the flower a sign – or a warning? As Neil begins to uncover more strange clues, he suspects there is more to his father’s suicide than meets the eye.

Detective Hannah Price is mourning the death of her own father, whose shadow looms large after she followed him into the police.

When Neil calls on her to help investigate his father’s death, she soon realises the truth Neil is seeking lies within The Black Flower. But as she starts digging deeper, she’s shocked to discover dark secrets from her own past lurking in its pages…
