About this audiobook
Troubled ex-cop turned private investigator Charlie Parker returns in the latest “compulsively readable” (Publishers Weekly) thriller from #1 internationally bestselling author John Connolly.
John Connolly takes battered ex-cop Charlie Parker on his third outing after Every Dead Thing and Dark Hollow. Still struggling with the horrific ghosts of his past, Parker is now a disillusioned private eye hired to investigate the circumstances surrounding the death of Grace Peltier—which neither her father nor a former US Senator believe was suicide. The trail leads to a mass grave in northern Maine where a Baptist community disappeared forty years earlier. The deaths of the Baptists and Grace are connected and point in the direction of a shadowy organization known as the Fellowship. With the assistance of some idiosyncratic and murderous acolytes, Parker soon confronts the Fellowship's demonic leader and finds himself caught in a situation more gruesome than even he could ever have imagined.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5So many twists and turns and so many spiders! I loved it! Loved the reader!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The narrator ruined the story for me. At times I could not understand a word he was saying, especially when he voiced Pud (sp.) when the character was first introduced. His volume waned quite a bit ; I couldn’t hear what he was saying.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Epic storytelling with characters that haunt you years after having read about them. The is and can only ever be one Mr. Pud.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Woke signaller longs for the days of abortion violence when the left could wring their hands and pretend to be the good guys.
Here's a radical suggestion for a plot idea: how about doing a realistic portrait of the abortion butchers as the bad guys. You know maybe consider the millions of helpless people they slaughter?
