The specific atmosphere of Connolly's Maine — a landscape where supernatural evil finds its natural home; Parker's growing understanding of the dimension of his work that exceeds ordinary crime
What this book is about
A man who was executed for the murders of young women in the Maine woods decades ago appears to be killing again — or something is using his methods. Charlie Parker, recovering from the violence of his first case, investigates while protecting a young woman who has been targeted. John Connolly's second Charlie Parker novel deepens the supernatural element that distinguishes the series from standard crime fiction and develops Parker's particular ability to exist at the edge between the natural and the something-else.
