A Book of Bones: Private Investigator Charlie Parker hunts evil in the seventeenth book in the globally bestselling series
About this ebook
PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR CHARLIE PARKER HUNTS THEM ALL.
He is our best hope. He is our last hope.
On a lonely moor in the northeast of England, the body is discovered near the site of a vanished church. In the south, a girl lies buried beneath a Saxon mound. To the southeast, the ruins of a priory hide a human skull.
Each is a sacrifice, a summons. And something in the shadows has heard the call.
But another is coming: Parker the hunter, the avenger. Parker's mission takes him from Maine to the deserts of the Mexican border; from the canals of Amsterdam to the streets of London - he will track those who would cast this world into darkness.
Parker fears no evil. But evil fears him . . .
From the number one Sunday Times and multi-million-copy bestselling author John Connolly comes the most compelling and unsettling Charlie Parker thriller yet.
The Charlie Parker novels can be read and enjoyed in any order. A Book of Bones is the seventeenth book in this globally bestselling series.
