About the book
The ‘consistently high-quality’ (Booklist) Charlie Parker series continues with a white-knuckled new thriller from New York Times bestselling author John Connolly.
Wyatt Riggins, the boyfriend of emerging Maine artist Zetta Nadeau, has disappeared, leaving his cell phone with a cryptic message: "RUN." Private investigator Charlie Parker is tasked with uncovering the reasons behind Riggins' sudden departure and who he is running from.
Parker soon unravels the mystery that Riggins, a former soldier, has been involved in the kidnapping of four children from Mexico. These children, three girls and a boy, are believed to belong to cartel boss Blas Urrea, although his own family is safe in Mexico. Regardless, Urrea is determined to retrieve the abductees and has sent his agents to recover them at any cost.
Among these agents is Eugene Seeley, a cunning and merciless problem-solver for hire. The other agent remains unidentified as a woman.
With every child having a mother, Charlie Parker is about to encounter a mother like no other and uncover the chilling truth about the Children of Eve.
