A Time of Torment by John Connolly
#1 internationally bestselling author John Connolly delivers a masterful combination of "the hard-boiled with the supernatural" (Publishers Weekly, starred review) with this return of dangerous and driven private investigator Charlie Parker as he battles an old evil that haunts a strange and isolated small-town community.Jerome Burnel was once a hero. He intervened to prevent multiple killings, and in doing so damned himself. His life was torn apart, imprisoned and 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.
The fourteenth Charlie Parker book brings together the haunting atmosphere, relentless suspense and dark, driven detective work that define Connolly's unforgettable thrillers.
John Connolly is the author of the Charlie Parker mystery trilogy, the Nocturnes spooky collection, the Samuel Johnson Trilogy for younger readers, and the Chronicles of the Invaders series (co-written with Jennifer Ridyard). He currently resides in Dublin, Ireland. Visit JohnConnollyBooks.com for additional information, or follow him on Twitter @JConnollyBooks.
