About this ebook

EVIL TAKES MANY FORMS.
PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR CHARLIE PARKER HUNTS THEM ALL.

'The finest crime series currently in existence' Independent on Sunday


His client is dead. But Charlie Parker will not rest . . .

The community of Prosperous, Maine, has always thrived when others have suffered. Its inhabitants are wealthy, its children's future secure. It shuns outsiders. It guards its own.

The death of a homeless man and the disappearance of his daughter draw the haunted, lethal private investigator Charlie Parker to Prosperous. Parker is a dangerous man, driven by compassion, by rage, and by the desire for vengeance. In him the town and its protectors sense a threat graver than any they have faced in their long history, and in the comfortable, sheltered inhabitants of a small Maine town, Parker will encounter his most vicious opponents yet.

Charlie Parker has been marked to die so that Prosperous may survive.

From the number one Sunday Times and multi-million-copy bestselling author John Connolly comes the most compelling and unsettling Charlie Parker thriller yet.


The Charlie Parker novels can be read and enjoyed in any order. The Wolf in Winter is the twelfth book in this globally bestselling series.

Cant wait for the next instalment of the Charlie Parker series. Going to read all the series again to catch up on all the previous characters that appear, to try and work out where it all goes from here. Best literary series out there!!!!!!

Another great instalment in the Charlie Parker series. However, I was a little disappointed with the ending.

A little disappointed perhaps the supernatural aspect is wearing thin and the storyline predictable
