Walker

1988: Buried in our past is the key to humanity's future.

Nine-year-old Tommy is special—he can move things with his mind. But his extraordinary psychic gift has made him the target of a corrupt military agency that wants to exploit his powers. After Tommy escapes the secret government facility holding him captive, staying alive becomes a thrilling game of cat and mouse across the wilderness and small towns of North Yorkshire.

DI Ben Barker leads a quiet life in Whitby, where murder is a rare occurrence. That peace is shattered when a young boy is found murdered on the beach. Barker is drawn into a dark conspiracy that reaches far beyond the sleepy seaside town, leading him to a shadowy organisation operating outside the law. As Barker uncovers the truth, he is forced to confront not only the killer but also the dark secrets that his community has been hiding.

When their paths converge, the stakes rise, revealing nightmarish truths that challenge the very fabric of reality.

Perfect for fans of Stranger Things and Firestarter, this white-knuckle adventure builds to an unforgettable conclusion. Follow Tommy and Barker in this tale of unlikely friendship, sacrifice, and what we're willing to do to protect the ones we love.

Walker is a standalone prequel novel in the Sunset Chronicles, the horror/sci-fi serial by Paul Stephenson, author of the apocalyptic Blood on the Motorway series, the vampire epic Darkness Rises, and the creator of the folk horror podcast Bleakwood.
