The murders have begun
Across England, a string of murders is taking place. Each different in method, but each horrifying and brutal.

Jess Ambrose is plunged into the investigation when her house is set ablaze. With her husband dead and the police pointing at her, she runs. Her only hope is disgraced detective Nate Griffin, who is convinced Jess is innocent.
And hes going to shock the world

Having always been fascinated with the dark and macabre, Sam Holland's love of reading was forged in the library through Stephen King, Dean Koontz and James Herbert. A self-confessed serial killer nerd, Holland studied psychology at university then spent the next few years working in HR, before quitting for a full-time career in writing. The Echo Man is the result. Sam can be found on Twitter and Instagram at @samhollandbooks.
