    About this audiobook

    New York Times bestselling author John Connolly “takes readers on a path they truly won’t believe” (Suspense Magazine) in this riveting supernatural thriller featuring haunted private investigator Charlie Parker.

    Deep in the Maine woods, a wrecked plane is discovered. It was never reported missing, and there are no bodies, but what it conceals is powerful beyond comprehension: a record of those who have struck a deal with the devil.

    A new battle is about to commence in the war between light and darkness, and the list proves to be a deadly weapon. While private detective Charlie Parker fears his own name is there, he is certain that it must be secured from evil. For others, too, have joined the search: a beautiful, scarred woman with a taste for killing; a silent child who remembers his own death; and a serial killer known as the Collector. But the woods too are preparing, for other secrets lurk within their depths.

    Someone survived the crash. Something survived. And now it waits.

      This is the eleventh book in the Charlie Parker series and a very welcome addition it is too. It begins with a story told by a dying man about a time when he was only a boy who got lost in the woods. He came across a little girl who pursued him,and he fled in great fear because she was long dead and she wanted him for her playmate.We also learn of a light aircraft which has crashed deep in these same woods and which various groups,good and evil badly want to discover. The evil ones are the dark angels which we have met before in earlier novels and include Brightwell and Darina. Rather hard to say which is the worse one of them. The good are only good in parts - Parker himself is flawed of course,and The Collector is clearly insane.The plot centers on who will reach the aircraft first and discover it's secrets but on the way are many deaths and much torturing of unfortunate victims. In other words all good dark fun by our one and only John Connolly.

      I didn't make it half way through this book and I think I've given up on it. This is my first John Connolly book, and it's part of a series; maybe I should have started with the first book in the series, but this is the one I had available. I normally like mystery stories and tolerate or like fantasy books, but there's something in the writing style that's bugging me. Either the writing is corny and the dialogue feels boring? Or maybe there's something about the narrator's voice that's bothering me. I'm going to set this aside and if I decide to come back, I'll start with the first book in the series.

      I’m addicted to Charlie Parker! Just the right amount of supernatural to keep me believing!
