The Woman in the Woods: A Charlie Parker Thriller
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
Description
In the beautiful Maine woods, a partly preserved body is discovered. Investigators realize that the young woman gave birth shortly before her death. But there is no sign of a baby.
Private detective Charlie Parker is hired by a lawyer to shadow the police investigation and find the infant but Parker is not the only one searching. Someone else is following the trail left by the woman, someone with an interest in much more than a missing child...someone prepared to leave bodies in his wake.
And in a house by the woods, a toy telephone begins to ring and a young boy is about to receive a call from a dead woman.
With breathless pacing and shivery twists and turns, "this is Connolly's masterpiece" (Publishers Weekly, starred review).

Starred review from April 30, 2018
Connolly’s 16th thriller featuring PI Charlie Parker (after 2017’s A Game of Ghosts) perfectly blends the natural and the supernatural. After a woman’s corpse is found in the woods near Parker’s Maine home, attorney Moxie Castin asks him to trace the child to whom the woman gave birth shortly before her death. Castin is moved to do so by a Star of David etched into a nearby tree, which suggests to him that the dead woman was a fellow Jew. A terrifying pair—an English lawyer known only as Quayle and a remorseless assassin, Pallida Mors—are also interested in finding the infant. In addition, they have been killing members of an informal underground group protecting refugees from domestic violence, who may have helped a woman named Karis Lamb elude an abusive man. Quayle’s quest involves enabling the “return of the Not-Gods, thus bringing about the end of days.” Several of the victims, all of whom are fully developed characters, choose death rather than betrayal, and the end result is both unnerving and moving. Fans will agree that this is Connelly’s masterpiece. Agent: Darley Anderson, Darley Anderson Literary (U.K.).
