A Book of Bones

fullDescription

"Irresistible." —Stephen King

Private Investigator Charlie Parker returns in this heart-pounding thriller as he seeks revenge against the darkest forces in the world, from "one of the best thriller writers we have" (Harlan Coben, #1 New York Times bestselling author) and the internationally bestselling author of the acclaimed The Woman in the Woods.
He is our best hope.

He is our last hope.

He is our only hope.

On a lonely moor in northern England, the body of a young woman is discovered. In the south, a girl lies buried beneath a Saxon mound. To the southeast, the ruins of a priory hide a human skull.

Each is a sacrifice, a summons. And something in the darkness has heard the call.

Charlie Parker has also heard it and from the forests of Maine to the deserts of the Mexican border, from the canals of Amsterdam to the streets of London, he will track those who would cast the world into darkness.

Parker fears no evil—but evil fears him.

"A seamless, expansive, and chilling blend of police procedural and gothic horror tale" (Kirkus Reviews), A Book of Bones will keep you guessing until the very last page.

1. • premium: True

   • content: Jeff Harding's hard-bitten rasp should suit Connelly's latest paranormal thriller featuring ex-cop Charlie Parker. However, the Texas twang he gives to Parker, who is from Maine, as well as other ill-considered character accents, and his squeaky portrayal of women, sometimes divert the listener's attention. The story involves Connelly's signature blend of supernatural horror and detective work. In this case, a trail of gruesomely dismembered women in Great Britain and the U.S. leads Parker on a quest to save us from the nightmare that would result from the reassembly of an ancient book known as THE FRACTURED ATLAS. His opponents include a mysterious lawyer named Quayle; Quayle's murderous accomplice, Mors; and Parker's own haunted past. A.C.S. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine

     Starred review from August 26, 2019
     Connolly’s complex, pulse-pounding 17th supernatural thriller featuring Maine-based investigator Charlie Parker (after 2018’s The Woman in the Woods) finds Parker still on the trail of Quayle, a possibly immortal English lawyer, and Pallida Mors, Quayle’s appropriately named killing machine. In the previous volume, their first round ended in a draw: Quayle was successful in retrieving some missing pages from a book called “the Fractured Atlas,” but Parker managed to retain one page, preventing Quayle from using the volume to end the world. Their duel now continues, as clues about the two villains, who rival Hannibal Lecter in their creepiness, send Parker and his allies to Amsterdam in search of them, even as police in the U.K. probe a series of murders connected with a bizarre religion, the Congregation of Adam Before Eve & Eve Before Adam, whose god demands the spilling of blood. Connolly’s nuanced characterizations and facility at creating spooky atmospherics make it easy to suspend disbelief about the threat of cosmic horror from other dimensions. This underrated author deserves a wider audience. Agent: Darley Anderson, Darley Anderson Literary (U.K.).
