About the book
New York Times bestselling author John Connolly is a master of the supernatural thriller - ‘a genre of one’ (Bookreporter) - whose eerie and electrifying Charlie Parker mystery turns a small town in Maine into an unforgettable character that threatens to destroy the brooding private investigator.
The small town of Prosperous in Maine has always been a thriving community. Despite the hardships faced by others, the residents there have managed to maintain their good fortune, wealth, safety, and isolation over the years.
Several miles away in Portland, a homeless man tragically passes away, drawing the attention of private investigator Charlie Parker to Prosperous. Known for his dangerous nature and driven by compassion, anger, and a thirst for justice, Parker poses a new kind of threat to the town's long-standing security.
However, the people of Prosperous have their own unique way of safeguarding themselves, and they see Charlie as a danger that must be eliminated in order for their town to survive. The mystery surrounding Prosperous, and the dark secret hidden beneath it, begins to unravel.
