Witness the beginning of the bestselling Charlie Parker series. It’s 1997, and a killer is targeting young black women in Burdon County, Arkansas. But no one wants to admit there’s a problem, not in the Dirty South – and the killer might just walk free. Meanwhile, in an Arkansas jail cell sits a former NYPD detective, stricken by grief. He is mourning the death of his wife and child and cares only for finding their killer. But that is about to change…

A cunningly plotted epic,  John Connolly’s hotly anticipated prequel takes you back to where it all started.
