Dark Hollow: Private Investigator Charlie Parker hunts evil in the second novel in the globally bestselling series

EVIL TAKES MANY FORMS.
PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR CHARLIE PARKER HUNTS THEM ALL.

Still raw from the murder of his wife and daughter, and the events surrounding the capture of their killer, The Travelling Man, Charlie Parker retreats to the wintry Maine landscape of his childhood. By following in the steps of his beloved grandfather, Parker hopes to heal his spirit and get through the bitter first anniversary.

But the echoes of the past that await him are not all benign. In a gruesome re-enactment of Parker''s own nightmares, another young woman is killed with her child and his brief involvement in their lives impels Parker to hunt their vicious murderer. As the death toll mounts, Parker comes to realise that the true answer to the puzzle lies thirty years in the past, in a tree with strange fruit, in his own grandfather''s history, and in the perverted desires of a monster incarnate - Caleb Kyle.

From the number one Sunday Times and multi-million-copy bestselling author John Connolly comes a mesmerising and chilling thriller described as ''classic American detective fiction . . . and of a very high order'' by Bernard Cornwell.

The Charlie Parker novels can be read and enjoyed in any order. Dark Hollow is the second book in this globally bestselling series.
