The Knock-Knock Man

Who is The Knock-Knock Man? A ghost, a killer, or simply a creepy urban legend? It is a question that haunts disgraced police officer, Ali Davenport, months after the devastating case that changed her life. Now, after the death of her former colleague, Ernie, Ali must uncover the truth about a past that won’t stay buried. Found in the disused office building where he worked, Ernie’s death seems to be an open-and-shut case. But not everyone is convinced. Wild stories abound about a supernatural presence that might have attacked Ernie that fateful night. Reluctantly, Ali agrees to take on Ernie’s night shifts to debunk the story; an easy enough job, if you don’t believe in ghosts. But then Ali meets Will, a teenage ghost hunter who claims to have evidence on film… As the mystery unfolds, Ali is forced to face the question of The Knock-Knock Man one last time. But what Ali doesn’t know is The Knock-Knock Man has already been watching her for a very long time…

Russell Mardell has fashioned a hugely original and totally terrifying folk horror noir from the rich ingredients of the Wiltshire countryside … a land where both Dennis and Ben Wheatley meet and fear of the supernatural is only matched by the evil that men do. --Cathi Unsworth

A sharp, chilling mystery with tremendously engaging characters, written in taut prose with occasional stabs of acerbic wit, this thriller with a dark heart will give fans of Phil Rickman, Peter Laws and Neil Spring a real treat. I loved it and genuinely couldn't put it down. --Stephen Volk

A beguiling blend of the supernatural and crime fiction that kept me on my toes until the very end. --Lucie McKnight Hardy
