#1 internationally bestselling writer John Connolly delivers a masterful combination of “the hard-boiled with the supernatural” (Web publishers Regular, starred review) with this come back of dangerous and driven private investigator Charlie Parker as he fights an old evil that haunts a strange and isolated community.

Jerome Burnel was once a hero. He intervened to prevent multiple killings, and in doing so damned himself. His life was torn aside, imprisoned and brutalized.

However in his last days, in regards to a Time of Torment: A Charlie Parker Thriller with the hunters circling, he tells his tale to personal detective Charlie Parker. He talks of the girl who was marked for death, but was preserved; of the ones who tormented him, and an entity that hides in a ruined stockade.

Parker isn’t like other men. He died, and was reborn. He’s ready to wage war.

Now he will descend upon a strange, isolated community known as the Cut, and encounter down a pressure of guys who guideline by terror, intimidation, and murder.

All in the name of the getting they serve. All in the name of the Dead King.
