Description

Praised as "among the greatest" (Toronto Sun) authors of modern suspense fiction, worldwide best-selling author John Connolly returns by having an electrifying story featuring his recommended personal investigator, Charlie Parker. In Sc, a black man faces the death penalty for the rape and murder of Marianne Larousse, child of 1 of the richest men in their state. It's an incident that nobody really wants to feel, deeply-rooted in old evil -- and old evil is Charlie Parker's niche. He's going to enter a full time income nightmare, a dreamscape of sadness haunted by the murderous specter of the hooded lady, by a black car awaiting a traveler that never comes, and by the menacing complicity of both friends and opponents in Larousse's brutal demise.
