Resumen del Editor

Still recovering from his life-threatening wounds, private detective Charlie Parker investigates a case that has its origins in a Nazi concentration camp during the Second World War.

Parker has retreated to the small Maine town of Boreas to regain his strength. There he befriends a widow named Ruth Winter and her young daughter, Amanda. But Ruth has her secrets. Old atrocities are about to be unearthed, and old sinners will kill to hide their sins. Now Parker is about to risk his life to defend a woman he barely knows, one who fears him almost as much as she fears those who are coming for her.

His enemies believe him to be vulnerable. Fearful. Solitary.

But they are wrong. Parker is far from afraid and far from alone.

For something is emerging from the shadows....

Any additional comments?

Why doesn't Audible obtain the rest of this series? The entire middle section of the series is Not Available. the story of Audible's life for carrying complete series.

Problems

A decently written book with good narration and some interesting characters, but I had two problems: (i) the gratuitous and largely pointless insertion of supernatural elements and (ii) the plausibility of there existing a contemporary group so ruthlessly devoted to protecting Nazi war criminals.

great story with a twist

my first Connolly book and I really liked it. Going to explore more for sure!

Charlie Parker is back!

I didn't like the last book nearly as well as this one. I've read all the preceding books all the way back to Every Dead Thing which is probably my favorite thriller of all time. This book gets back on track to the level of great writing I'd come to enjoy from John Connolly.

A pretty good mystery. Light, fun
and interesting it moves along
telling a god story. Waiting for Spring waters to stop rising? This is your book.

My least favorite

I have loved Charlie Parker from day one but this novel was almost unbearable in it's story line. More than once I wished I could kill off the old Nazis myself to just get it over already. I'm desperate to get to the next novel ONLY to get the memory of this one out my mind.

Jersey Shore Reader Mr, 34

Great story but does it want to be a midterm Thriller or SyFy? Narration excellent.

I am not a fan

The story was a real stretch for me....concentration camps, child ghosts, communication with the dead, people with leperocy, body stench...maybe it's just me but this was another book I could lay down anytime after the 2nd chapter

worlds collided

I truly enjoyed the story. When it comes to twists and turns and plots this one seems to have it all. I won't say too much more because I don't want to spoiling. this one is a great read.
