Stripped of his license, Charlie Parker takes a job in a Portland bar. Alone and directionless, he faces at last a shadow he has lived with since his childhood: what made his father, a respected police officer, apparently shoot dead two unarmed teens and then commit suicide. His quest leads him back to the little New York town where he grew up, to the mysterious history of the NYPD, and to the existence of secret friends and hidden enemies.

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.

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.

It is there, in the vast and porous Great North Woods, that a dangerous smuggling operation is taking place, run by a group of disenchanted former soldiers, newly returned from Iraq. Illicit goods - drugs, cash, weapons, even people - are changing hands.

In the depths of the Maine woods, the wreckage of a plane is discovered. There are no bodies, and no such plane has ever been reported missing, but men both good and evil have been seeking it for a long, long time. What the wreckage conceals is more important than money. It is power: a list of names, a record of those who have struck a deal with the devil. Now a battle is about to commence between those who want the list to remain secret and those for whom it represents a crucial weapon in the struggle against the forces of darkness.

Publisher's Summary
Daniel Clay, a once-respected psychiatrist, has been missing for years following revelations about harm done to the children in his care. Believing him dead, his daughter Rebecca has tried to come to terms with her father's legacy, but her fragile peace is about to be shattered. Someone is asking questions about Daniel Clay, someone who does not believe that he is dead: the revenger Merrick, a father and a killer obsessed with discovering the truth about his own daughter's disappearance. Private detective Charlie Parker is hired to make Merrick go away, but Merrick will not be stopped. Soon Parker finds himself trapped between those who want the truth about Daniel Clay to be revealed, and those who want it to remain hidden at all costs.
But there are other forces at work here. Someone is funding Merrick's hunt, a ghost from Parker's past. And Merrick's actions have drawn others from the shadows, half-glimpsed figures intent upon their own form of revenge, pale wraiths drifting through the ranks of the unquiet dead. The Hollow Men have come….

Another classic
Enjoyed this book enormously, Jeff Harding brings Charlie Parker alive, he marches the voice I have in my head as I have read all the series, I have trouble accepting the way Angel speaks but everyone has the characters speaking differently in their head, looking forward to listening to the next,

Haunting uncomfortable compelling
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would recommend this book to a friend if they enjoyed supernatural thrillers with a twist
Have you listened to any of Jeff Harding’s other performances? How does this one compare?
I love Jeff Harding he brings the characters to life. I first came across him when I listened to "Dancing for the Hangman"
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Yes, it made me really sad, its uncomfortable listening because you really don't want to believe the evil that people do but you know it goes on. Even though the book is fictional you get drawn in and hooked. It could have been based on real events and in parts, probably was.
Any additional comments?
The research into child abuse the author did for this book must have been harrowing. I wasn't sure I was going to like the book but I just couldn't put it down. I wanted to see justice done! The twist at the end was one I didn't see coming either.

An uncomfortable reality leaking into nightmares
Would you consider the audio edition of The Unquiet to be better than the print version?
There's nothing in it for when I read a John Connolly book I do so hearing Jeff Harding
What did you like best about this story?
The multi layered plot that is very gradually woven into a pattern ... the anticipation you are seduced into almost without knowing what direction the writer will take next
What about Jeff Harding’s performance did you like?
The depth and gravitas he lends to characters - the sound colours he charges each scene, each character with...male or female. The man has a genius for story telling with a voice that has a certain timbre John Connolly's books need.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
You have to savour the entire story to get a charge and no one moment can do that. You can't appreciate a building by studying a single brick.

Classic Parker
What made the experience of listening to The Unquiet the most enjoyable?
This was a classic Parker novel featuring Angel and Louis and a bit of The Collector. A great story, the writing of wrongs and the usual deceptions and half truths.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Parker takes it closely followed by Angel the Louis. Why? Because he's Parker, abrasive, irritating and antagonist. Marvelous.
What about Jeff Harding’s performance did you like?
First class, totally inseparable with Connolly/Parker now.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
No one tells the truth all the time.

Painfully slow and dull.
Another tale of of the American detective Charlie Parker. This time he is hired by the daughter of a prominent psychiatrist that has been missing for years, after he was linked to a child abuse scandal. To further complicate matters the daughter is being stalked by a menacing killer who is also searching for information on the psychatrists whereabouts...and so the story continues from here. I thought it would have a similar pace and supernatural backdrop to "Black Angel", which I enjoyed immensley, but I was sadly dissappointed.
The pace is painfully slow and the plot is tinged with overtones of a bad "Sam Spade" detective novel. Apologies to John Connolly fans. This is only the 2nd John Connolly novel I have purchased. I'm sad to say it may well be the last. I found the story lacked true suspense. At times the level of irrelevant detail blocked the story instead of enhancing it and bringing it to life.
I'm not a fan of American narrators either. However I fully appreciate that you need the right voice for the right story. Plumby vowels really wouldn't work on this plotline. I think Jeff Harding does good job with variery of voices and trying to make each character different and unique. Which can't be an easy task for an audio book.
Sorry Audible but I'm really sad to say that this little audio book adventure left me disappointed and bored.
