Summary

Did Grace Peltier commit suicide?

When a mass grave in northern Maine reveals the final resting place of a religious community that disappeared almost 40 years earlier, private detective Charlie Parker, hired to investigate the circumstances of her death, realises that their deaths and the violent passing of Grace Peltier are part of the same mystery, one that has its roots in her family history and in the origins of the shadowy organisation known as the Fellowship.

Aided by the genial killers Angel and Louis, Parker must descend into the depths of a honeycomb world populated by dark angels and lost souls, a world where the ghosts of the dead wait for justice and the unwary are prey for the worst kind of creatures: the killing kind.

Fantastic Poetry in Prose

… on an incredibly intricate and twisted ocult plot… better than Stephen King in my opinion. Loved it

incredible!!

I read this several years ago and got hooked on John Connelly and the Charlie Parker series. this stands up there as one of the best crime, action, thrillers out there!

the narrator however turns this from an excellent book into an incredible experience. his portrayal of Charlie Parker is exactly how I pictured it and his characters and inflection bring life to the bit parts, the side kicks and the sinister evil villains

If you come across this book and your tempted to try something new you cannot go wrong!!

unless your afraid of spiders that is!

Gripping read and the story comes alive by the excellent delivery by Jeff Harding!

I love Charlie Parker and his friends. The description of the spider attack’s were so detailed that I couldn’t listen and forwarded until it was safe to listen again.
I hate spiders so at times my flesh was actually crawling and made me shiver in fear. Bloody excellent story made real by the way it was read.
Highly recommend!

Great listen

Well written and well performed. A truly disturbing but gripping story. The characters are well rounded with unusual quirks without question one of my favourite authors.
