About this ebook

'Nesbø is one of today's most interesting thriller writers, a 100% buy-today-read-tonight delight' Lee Child


WHEN THE VOICES CALL, DON'T ANSWER...


In the wake of his parents' tragic deaths fourteen-year-old Richard Elauved has been sent to live with his aunt and uncle in the remote town of Ballantyne.

Richard quickly earns a reputation as an outcast, and when a classmate named Tom goes missing, no one believes him when he says the telephone booth out by the edge of the woods sucked Tom into the receiver like something out of a horror movie.

No one, that is, except the enigmatic Karen, who encourages Richard to pursue clues the police refuse to investigate. He traces the number to an abandoned house in the woods. There he catches a glimpse of a terrifying face in the window. And then the voices start.
When another classmate disappears, Richard grapples with the dark magic that's possessing Ballantyne to try and find them before it’s too late...

'Nesbø unfolds his tale of a troubled teen grappling with dark forces from three different perspectives, each more chilling than the last' DAILY MAIL


Perfect for fans of Stephen King and James Herbert

Jo Nesbo should write more horror novels, could not put it down. Don't read in the dark. Good characters very well plotted. You are not sure what is real and what is not. Just the book for spooky season. I received this book from Random House UK and Netgalley for a review

I thought this book was ridiculous. No real plot and no real str. I wouldn't call it a horror story at all
