The gripping first Charlie Parker novel from bestselling author John Connolly - perfect for fans of Stephen King and Jeffery Deaver. Tormented and racked with guilt over the brutal slaying of his wife and daughter, Charlie Parker, ex-cop with the NYPD, agrees to track down a missing girl.

Multiple strands converge with a horrific confrontation in which hunter and hunted are intimately connected by guilt.
About the book
When I bought this book, somewhere I read “Perfect for Jeffery Deaver’s fans”… but are you kidding? Please do not compare a thriller genius with this boring author.
To say that I got bored to death reading this book isn’t enough, the narrative is slow and most likely because of this boredom, I lost all the connections because I honestly don’t understand how the case of the disappearance of the woman can be connected to the murder of his wife and child.
The protagonist is unbelievable, alcoholic, drug addict and moreover a born criminal.
In the post in which I introduced this book, I said “hope I won’t be disappointed”, but yeah, it happened!! Never again!
Honestly I can not even summarize what happened, I just know that the protagonist is tormented by the death of his wife and daughter, and I have no idea how this is connected to everything else.
-5 stars for this book.
