About this ebook
Private Investigator Charlie Parker returns in this heart-pounding thriller as he seeks revenge against the darkest forces in the world, from “one of the best thriller writers we have” (Harlan Coben, #1 New York Times bestselling author) and the internationally bestselling author of the acclaimed The Woman in the Woods.
He is our best hope.
He is our last hope.
He is our only hope.
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.
“A seamless, expansive, and chilling blend of police procedural and gothic horror tale” (Kirkus Reviews), A Book of Bones will keep you guessing until the very last page.

A great story. Incredible details and obvious research went into this latest Parker thriller. I so enjoyed this book and his recurring characters. It could have used some editing as the author admitted in his acknowledgements however I can forgive that as it was a tour de force in storytelling.

John Connolly has become my favorite author. I have most of his Charlie Parker series books. I love Charlie Parker and fret over him constantly through such terrifically terrifying stories. I am excited to read each new book with Charlie Parker in the story. What an inspiring journey each and every read. đź‘Ź
