The Burning Soul: A Charlie Parker Thriller
New York Times bestselling author John Connolly brings his "visionary brand of neo-noir" (The Irish Times) to this "riveting and chilling" (San Francisco Examiner) Charlie Parker thriller about new secrets buried and old secrets unearthed.There are some truths so terrible that they should not be spoken aloud. Here is one of those truths: after three hours, the abduction of a child is routinely treated as a homicide. When a girl disappears from a small Maine town, her neighbor--a recluse named Randall Haight--starts receiving anonymous letters that contain tormenting references to a different teenage girl, murdered long ago. For many years, Randall has kept a secret: when he was fourteen, he was convicted of killing that girl. Now, his former life has returned to haunt him, and he hires private detective Charlie Parker to make it go away. But in a town built on blood and shadowed by old ghosts, where too many of the living are hiding secrets, the past cannot be dismissed so easily. As Parker unravels a twisted, violent history involving a doomed mobster and his enemies, the police, and the FBI, his search returns again and again to Randall Haight. Because Randall is still telling lies...
