Summary

It is deep winter. The darkness is unending. The private detective named Jaycob Eklund has vanished, and Charlie Parker is dispatched to track him down. Parker's employer, Edgar Ross, an agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, has his own reasons for wanting Eklund found. Eklund is no ordinary investigator. He is obsessively tracking a series of homicides and disappearances, each linked to reports of hauntings. Now Parker will be drawn into Eklund's world, a realm in which the monstrous Mother rules a crumbling criminal empire, in which men strike bargains with angels, and in which the innocent and guilty alike are pawns in a game of ghosts.

Vintage Charlie Parker - never disappointing!

All the usual characters with the dark humour and even darker supernatural occurrences, punctuated with some premature deaths. I still delayed cleaning my house to finish it though!

A game of mystery…

… English wit and and a great story-telling! Yet another masterpiece from John Connolly and I can’t wait for the next one in the series.

One of his best

This was one of the first John Connolly novels that I read, & has become a re-read favourite.

Love them all but…

I think this is my favourite Charlie Parker novel. The characters are so rich. The main story fascinating with a certain twist that left me reeling.

John Connolly - one of the best authors

Every book I have ever read/listened to by Mr Connolly is excellent, and this is no exception. My only regret s that I couldn't stop listening and now it's over...the imagination, characterisation and narration are breathtaking...
