About the book
From the international and instant New York Times bestselling author John Connolly, this heart-wrenching installment of the beloved and brilliant Charlie Parker series ‘will leave readers breathless and shaken’ (Booklist).
In Maine, Colleen Clark is facing accusations of committing the most heinous crime a mother can commit - the abduction and possible murder of her child. In this small town, everyone seems to have an opinion on the case, from ambitious politicians to hardened police officers to ordinary citizens, and the majority believe she is guilty.
Defending Colleen is the lawyer, Moxie Castin, with the assistance of private investigator Charlie Parker. Parker senses that there is more to the story than meets the eye, with twists involving a husband too quick to believe in his wife's guilt, a group of extremists preparing for conflict, a disgraced psychic looking for redemption, and an old, eerie house deep in the Maine forest - a house that should never have been constructed.
A house with secrets lurking beneath the surface.
