A Song of Shadows by John Connolly
Thirteenth in the 'series of superb novels built around the haunted private detective Charlie Parker' Daily Mail, A SONG OF SHADOWS sees Parker revisit the crimes of a WWII concentration camp while he struggles to regain his health after the near-fatal shooting in The Wolf in Winter.
Connolly's writing moves at a gallop, and the uncanny touches to this story can raise the hairs on the back of your neckTechnically it's a thriller but actually it does more. * The Times *
A Song of Shadows has it all - poetic writing, dark humour, a dash of the supernatural and a thoroughly chilling plot. Connolly is pure class. * Crime Review *
Immensely atmospheric and frequently grisly. * Good Book Guide *
