In the beautiful Maine woods, a partly preserved body is discovered. Investigators realize that the dead 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 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.

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.

When Marshall McEwan left his hometown at age 18, he vowed never to return. The trauma that drove him away ultimately spurred him to become one of the most successful journalists in Washington DC. But just as the political chaos in the nation’s capital lifts him to new heights, Marshall is forced to return home in spite of his boyhood vow. His father is dying, his mother is struggling to keep the family newspaper from failing, and the town is in the midst of an economic rebirth that might be built upon crimes that reach into the state capitol - and perhaps even to Washington.

Long time fan, but this one was overly violent

Publisher's Summary
Jerome Burnel was once a hero. He intervened to prevent multiple killings and in doing so damned himself. His life was torn apart. He was imprisoned, brutalized.
But in his final days, with the hunters circling, he tells his story to private detective Charlie Parker. He speaks of the girl who was marked for death but was saved; of the ones who tormented him and an entity that hides in a ruined stockade.
Parker is not like other men. He died and was reborn. He is ready to wage war. Now he will descend upon a strange, isolated community called the Cut and face down a force of men who rule by terror, intimidation and murder. All in the name of the being they serve. All in the name of the Dead King.

John Connolly at his best
I have been a fan of John Connolly since I read his first book. His Charlie Parker novels never fail to keep your interest with interesting plots, believable characters and fascinating background information. They are crime fiction at its best and I love the darker elements which are strung through the plots. This latest book does not disappoint and upholds the tradition of the series. I would recommend this book to anyone (along with the rest of the series) who likes a good well thought out and well written book, which keeps you on the edge of your seat, and just when you think you have things sorted, twists and gets you going again. This is an exceptional book, in an exceptional series.

Great thriller!
Back on form with the latest Charlie Parker installment, good story & well rounded characters - awful though most of them are. Glad that the supernatural element is back (The Black Angel is one of the scariest books I've read(after Every Dead Thing of course)) and looks like Sam is shaping up to be the scariest new member of the team, a feat in itself!

Dull delivery
The storyline was good, but the narrator didn’t do it much justice, especially in the first few chapters. His voice was quite monotonous and I almost gave up on the book because I couldn’t get engaged with the story at all, and only continued to the end because the story got a bit more interesting. There was no passion in his voice and I wouldn’t rush to listen to anything read by Jeff Harding again.

Need to read the first in series!
This was a decided odd book, there was something about it I did enjoy, but it did get a bit tedious when everything was explained in the minutest detail. I do, however, feel inclined to read some of the earlier books, then I may read this one again.
I really dislike Jeff Harding as a narrator. He tends to read as if he is reading a shopping list, and turns 'up' at the end of each sentence. His female voices REALLY irritate me with their clipped sexy speak!
Overall, I liked the character of Charlie Parker. I found the story confusing in the extreme - but there was something that drew me in.

Can highly recommend this book in Connolly's Charlie Parker series with it's usual dark storyline, detailed settings and rich characters
