Summary

 A pulse-pounding thriller featuring Detective Charlie Parker from the bestselling author of The Wrath of Angels.

'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

Loved it from start to finish, it’s deep and painful and mysterious and Louis and Angel colour it just enough to make it a great fun to read.

I love all the Charlie Parker stories, and this one is no exception. John Connolly writes such engaging characters, and the plotlines are so gripping that I'm always reluctant to leave Charlie's world when duty calls. I've read all the novels to date and started on the audiobook versions - from the beginning - last year. The narrator is perfect. His handling of the different voices is impeccable. You're never in any doubt as to which character is speaking.

If you've never read the previous books in the series, it's not a problem. This can easily be listened to as a standalone, but I would recommend checking out the others first as the character development across the novels are beautiful to behold. Highly recommended!

Terrific!

Once again a great listen to a master storyteller. The saga of Charlie Parker is building towards a mesmerising climax. How much longer Charlie and his friends can go on battling unseen and supernatural forces reminds to be seen. There is still another book in the series which I can't wait to start. The wolf in winter was a great story and as always Jeff Harding narration was excellent. However I do think the listener would benefit from having read or listened to other books in the series as it may not always make sense if you are not familiar with the past. Highly recommend.

Excellent

Great story but the delivery of the dialogue undermines it. Everyone but the protagonist sounds like they're from a bad cartoon.

Stop the voices!

faultless......have read all of the Charlie Parker series and they're all 10 out 10's but this one is my favourite. It's got everything.
