The Unquiet by John Connolly
This world is full of broken things The psychiatrist Daniel Clay has been missing for years following allegations about the harm done to children in his care. If he's dead, some might say he got off lightly. But the killer Merrick does not believe Daniel Clay is dead. Merrick was in prison when his child disappeared while being treated by Clay. Now he wants answers from Clay's daughter Rebecca, and if she can't provide them, he'll settle for revenge. Only private investigator Charlie Parker stands in his way. But Daniel Clay may not have been acting alone, and neither is Merrick. Dark forces are gathering, intent on protecting old secrets - or revealing them. To shine a light on the past, Parker may have to set a fire that burns everything, and everyone, in its path. 'You'll be running shards of it through your mind once the book is finished' Irish Times 'This man's so good, it's terrifying' The TimesThere is an element of the supernatural, taking the reader into a place where the real, contemporary world is touched by something from our worst nightmares, and he does it in lyrical, almost poetic language which grips and chills. * Sunday Telegraph *
Parker is a classic character who walks straight and tall like someone from the old west, and the reader knows all will be well once he arrives in town. THE UNQUIET just won't let you put it down as the plot careers across the pages like a runaway train. Excellent! * Independent on Sunday *
