About the book
From the number one Sunday Times and multi-million-copy bestselling author John Connolly comes the most compelling and unsettling Charlie Parker thriller yet.
Jerome Burnel used to be a hero, but his actions to prevent multiple killings led to his own downfall, tearing his life apart.
As he nears the end, with hunters closing in, he confides in private detective Charlie Parker, recounting the tale of a girl marked for death but ultimately saved, of his tormentors, and a sinister presence lurking in a crumbling fortress.
Parker, unlike others, is prepared to fight back. He will now confront a mysterious, isolated group known as the Cut, facing off against a ruthless band of men who wield power through fear, coercion, and death.
All in service of their enigmatic leader. All in allegiance to the Dead King.
