About this listen

 OVER ONE MILLION COPIES SOLD WORLDWIDE

A sweeping coming-of-age tale, an epic love story and a searing thriller, all unfolding on a vast canvas.

There is a moment when childhood ends.

For Joseph 'Patch' Macauley and Saint Brown, it comes late one summer as Patch is abducted from their hometown. Devastated, Saint devotes her days to finding her best friend.

Held in total darkness, Patch is hopeless and alone - until he feels a hand in his. Though he never sees the girl, they fall in love. When he escapes, he's left with only her voice and name - and promises to spend the rest of his life searching for her.

As Saint's heart breaks for the boy she lost - and the man he becomes - she will shadow his journey, to uncover the truth behind who took him.

Over a lifetime driven by obsession, Patch and Saint must sacrifice everything for redemption, justice, and, ultimately, love - even if that means losing each other forever ...

PRAISE FOR ALL THE COLOURS OF THE DARK:

'Impeccably crafted, deeply emotional, entirely shattering. I was captivated from page one.'
BONNIE GARMUS, author of LESSONS IN CHEMISTRY

'Chris Whitaker's latest novel is a book to lose yourself in... this sprawling crime novel transcends its genre to become something epic in scope, haunting and ultimately deeply moving. A huge achievement.'
ALEX MICHAELIDES, author of THE SILENT PATIENT

'ALL THE COLOURS OF THE DARK is epic in every sense of the word: time, scope, skill, and love. It's a crime novel with a huge beating heart and some of the best characters I've ever passed my time with.'
ABIGAIL DEAN, author of GIRL A

'Taut, beguiling , and suspenseful, ALL THE COLOURS OF THE DARK reveals the depth of a town's loss when a young boy goes missing'
NITA PROSE, author of THE MAID

'Engrossing, heart-breaking and uplifting in equal measure - I've never read anything quite like it. This book will stay with you for a very long time.'
LUCY FOLEY, author of THE PARIS APARTMENT

'This book hits like a sledgehammer. Equal parts harrowing and triumphant, Chris Whitaker's novel is a haunting story of America, alternating between its twin strands of violence and love. I couldn't put it down, and will always remember that 13 year old pirate, Patch, and that brilliant little beekeeper, Saint. An absolutely must-read novel.'

This story has a little bit of everything in it, it blends a few genres with well developed characters and lots of Easter Eggs which pay off later.

A masterpiece of a novel

It's so hard to talk about just one thing. All I can say is if you're looking for a book that will give you goosebumps, this is it. Plot and character development off the charts. Delivery is perfect. My new favourite book that I will be recommending to anyone with ears to listen and eyes to see.

The drive to my parents is long. But because of this book, I wanted it to be even longer.
