A terrifying, twist-filled early novel from the dark master of the truly scary thriller, Alex North

The 50/50 killer preys on couples.

He manipulates their love for each other and makes them play a game.
He stalks them, tortures them and then forces them to choose.
What is going to break first? Their will or their love for each other?
Only two things are certain:
One of them will die.
And the other will have killed them.

Praise for The 50/50 Killer

Praise for Alex North

The best crime novel of the decade

Steve Cavanagh

A dark, creepy thriller with a huge amount of heart

Stuart MacBride

A thriller that is both terrifying and utterly heartbreaking. Mesmerising and masterful

Mark Billingham

First it's spooky. Then it's scary. Then it's terrifying

A.J. Finn

Shades of Thomas Harris and Stephen King but brilliant in its own right
