Although Chris survived the attack, the scars ran deeper than the ones left across his face. Now they're adults, and they haven't spoken in years. Then she gets a call, from Detective Laurence Page.\n\n\nPage is facing an unusually disturbing crime scene. Alan Hobbes, a distinguished and wealthy philosophy professor, has been brutally murdered. Hobbes was living in a sprawling mansion���but one that remains half-ruined by a decades-old fire, wind and rain howling through the gaping, creaking roof.\n\n\nPage only has one suspect: Chris, caught on CCTV at the house. But he has plenty of questions. What could cause a man as wealthy as Hobbes not to repair his home? Why did he seem to know his death was coming, yet do nothing to stop it? And why was he obsessed with a legendary local serial killer?\n\n\nBut Katie only has one thing on her mind. She knows this is her last, best chance to finally save her brother, and make up for her negligence all those years ago.\n\n\nBut she can't possibly imagine just how much danger he's in...\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"North, Alex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41854013734989,"sku":"CONF20250906129RL","price":119.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0557\/3856\/4685\/files\/9780241438138_20250302_193525_67d88767-59b3-43ba-87e2-9aa2b48fb90c.jpg?v=1749462814","url":"https:\/\/readmatter.co.za\/products\/buy-the-half-burnt-house-alex-north-conf20250906129rl","provider":"Readmatter","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
