About this listen

Jerome Burnel was once a hero. He intervened to prevent multiple killings and in doing so damned himself. His life was torn apart. He was imprisoned, brutalized.

But in his final days, with the hunters circling, he tells his story to private detective Charlie Parker. He speaks of the girl who was marked for death but was saved; of the ones who tormented him and an entity that hides in a ruined stockade.

Parker is not like other men. He died and was reborn. He is ready to wage war. Now he will descend upon a strange, isolated community called the Cut and face down a force of men who rule by terror, intimidation and murder. All in the name of the being they serve. All in the name of the Dead King.

John Connolly is the most amazing writer. I prefer reading to audio for his books, as I have loved his books since I accidentally picked up his first book when it came out and anxiously await his new books. I read the books over and over, but though I like audio, for Mr Connolly's work I need the book. I have in my head what each character sounds like, so listening to a narrator portray Angel, Louis and of course Charlie's voices is strange. This was not written in the first person, as it usually is.
I would highly recommend this to anyone that enjoys a well written, brilliantly plotted unusual book. I think to get the best from them, you have to start at the beginning of the Charlie Parker series. It unfolds better than any series I have read, and I am a bibliophile!

Excellent book by the indomitable John!!
