BEFORE HE KNOCKS

"An incredibly engaging character-driven thriller that balances the dark and the light." - Reedsy

"First time reading this author and I was blown away by this book.." - Booksprout Review

Paranoia spreads through a tough New England town, when two young, beautiful girls are found murdered exactly one year apart. Both dumped along the same river, under similar circumstances. But unlike the killers of the past, the man behind these murders doesn't kill for sport. No, he kills for the story, documenting each encounter, over a warm glass of milk, in chilling detail.

It's this bizarre twist, narrated by the killer himself, that made Dom Driscol's debut novel an instant bestseller. With some critics already calling the memoir-style thriller, the scariest work of fiction in decades.

But unfortunately for Dom, not everyone is so fond of his work.

That includes part-time sleuth, Izzy Hernandez, who happens to notice a few peculiarities that others have missed. Like the startling similarities between Dom's antagonist and the man who's been terrorizing Izzy's hometown of Springfield for years. A man the local media have infamously dubbed, The Splinter.

But in an investigation full of conmen and killers, nothing is as clear as it appears. And as Izzy races to solve the case, the line between fact and fiction quickly begins to blur...
