The Lovers by John Connolly
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELING AUTHOR JOHN CONOLY WRITES AN UNFAILINGLY COMPELING (New Orleans Times-Picayune) AND LYRICAL TALE THAT FORCES PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR CHARLIE PARKER TO EXAMINE HIS HAUNTING PAST AND AL THAT HE HAS EVER BELIEVED TRUE ABOUT HIS BELOVED PARENTS--AND HIMSELF.
Stripped of his license, Charlie Parker takes a job in a Portland bar. Alone and directionless, he faces at last a shadow he has lived with since his childhood: what made his father, a respected police officer, apparently shoot dead two unarmed teens and then commit suicide. His quest leads him back to the little New York town where he grew up, to the secret history of the NYPD, and to the existence of mysterious friends and hidden enemies. For waiting in the shadows, as they have been throughout Charlie's life, are a man and a woman with only one purpose: to bring an end to his very existence. . . .
John Connolly is author of the Charlie Parker mysteries, The Book of Lost Things, the Samuel Johnson novels for young adults, and, with his partner, Jennifer Ridyard, is the coauthor of the Chronicles of the Invaders series. His debut, Every Dead Thing, swiftly launched him into the top rank of thriller writers, and all his subsequent novels have been Sunday Times bestsellers. He was the first non-American writer to win the US Shamus award, and the first Irish writer to be awarded the Edgar by the Mystery Writers of America.
