About the book
A brilliantly chilling novel by New York Times bestselling author John Connolly about a chain of killings, linked obscurely by great distances and the passage of years, and the settling of their blood-debts -- past, present, and future.
When Louis was a young boy, he witnessed a horrific crime that resulted in the death of a member of his small southern community. Although he tries to move on, the brutal nature of the act forever changes him. It ignites a cold fire within him, waiting to be unleashed. Now, many years later, the sins of his past are catching up to him, bringing with them buried secrets and forgotten deeds.
Someone is on a mission to hunt Louis down, targeting his home, businesses, and his partner Angel. The enforcer of vengeance is Bliss, a feared assassin known as a Reaper. Bliss not only carries out deadly contracts but also has a personal vendetta against Louis.
Despite their troubled pasts, Louis and Angel decide to fight back. As they develop a bond that brings them comfort, they realize they are not safe from the impending danger. When they suddenly vanish, their friends must come together to locate them. Leading the search is private detective Charlie Parker, a killer himself, waiting to unleash his own brand of justice.
Connolly's haunting prose and portrayal of his tormented characters captivate and chill readers. In a world where corruption reigns and murderers roam free, betrayals are always met with retribution. Another exceptional work from a talented author, The Reapers will both terrify and captivate audiences.
