Publisher's Synopsis
1986: Young Eddie and his friends spend their days biking around their sleepy little English village, looking for any taste of excitement they can get. The chalk men are their secret code; little stick figures they leave for one another as messages only they can understand. But then a mysterious chalk man leads them right to a dismembered body, and nothing is ever the same... In 2016, Eddie thinks he's put the past behind him. But then he gets a letter in the mail, containing a single chalk stick figure. When it turns out that his friends got the same message, they think it could be a prank - until one of them turns up dead. That's when Eddie realizes that saving himself means finally figuring out what really happened all those years ago...
