By: John Connolly

'The finest crime series currently in existence' - Independent on Sunday

His client is dead. But Charlie Parker will not rest . . .

The community of Prosperous, Maine, has always thrived when others have suffered. Its inhabitants are wealthy, its children's future secure. It shuns outsiders. It guards its own.

The death of a homeless man and the disappearance of his daughter draw the haunted, lethal private investigator Charlie Parker to Prosperous. Parker is a dangerous man, driven by compassion, by rage, and by the desire for vengeance. In him the town and its protectors sense a threat graver than any they have faced in their long history, and in the comfortable, sheltered inhabitants of a small Maine town, Parker will encounter his most vicious opponents yet.

Charlie Parker has been marked to die so that Prosperous may survive.

Critic reviews

Connolly's writing is a cut above the rest, and the presence of the supernatural on the margins of the story gives it a tense, oppressive edge.

Contains Connolly's usual brilliance with plot, dialogue, setting, humour and writing that is at times poetic
