The Wolf in Winter: A Charlie Parker Thriller
New York Times bestselling author John Connolly is a master of the supernatural thriller--"a genre of one" (Bookreporter)--whose eerie and electrifying Charlie Parker mystery turns a small town in Maine into an unforgettable character that threatens to destroy the brooding private investigator.
The isolated community of Prosperous, Maine, has always thrived. While others suffered, the people there have remained fortunate, wealthy, secure, and insular throughout the centuries.
Miles to the south, in Portland, a homeless man dies, and the disturbing manner of his death brings Prosperous to the attention of the private investigator Charlie Parker. He is a dangerous man, driven by compassion, rage, and the desire for vengeance. Prosperous and its townsfolk recognize that he poses a threat to their security that runs deeper than any in their long history.
But this community has its own way of protecting itself, and its sheltered residents have marked Charlie for death so that Prosperous may survive. Prosperous, and the secret that is buried beneath it...

"A compelling flawed hero and a detail-rich plot make for another satisfying read."-- "Publishers Weekly"
"Charlie Parker is a hardboiled a character as ever rolled off the platen of Dashiell Hammett or Raymond Chandler...Trust me: it's worth the wait."-- "Gwinnett Magazine"

"The ability to mix fact with fiction has always been one of the great strengths of Connolly's writing...The Wolf in Winter is a terrific story, but a word to the wise: Don't read it on a dark and stormy night."-- "Mystery Scene Magazine"
