John Connolly delighted readers along with his best-selling novels, Every Dead Thing, Deep Hollow, and The Killing Kind. Now he provides spellbinding suspense as Charlie Parker races to unravel a brutal offense committed in the Deep South. After years of struggling unfathomable pain and guilt over the murders of his partner and little princess, private detective Charlie Parker has finally found some measure of peacefulness. As he and his lover, Rachel, are awaiting the labor and birth of their first child and settling into an old farmhouse in rural Maine, Parker has found the kind of solace often lost to those people who have been handled by true bad. But darkness soon descends when Parker gets a call from Elliot Norton, an old friend from his days and nights as a detective with the NYPD. Now rehearsing rules in Charleston, SC, Elliot is defending a dark-colored man accused of raping and killing his white girl, the little princess of a powerful Southern millionaire. Reluctantly, Parker agrees to help Elliot and by doing so ventures into a living headache, a bloody dreamscape haunted by the specter of your hooded female and a dark-colored car waiting for a passenger who never occurs. Beginning as a study into a woman's death, it is just a fast-moving descent into an abyss where causes conspire to demolish everything Parker holds dear. Hailed as a "professional storyteller" (The London Exhibit) by critics stateside and abroad, Connolly has once again shipped a riveting and suspenseful story that attracts listeners toward the horrifying crossroads of the past and present, of the living and the dead. "We are captured not only by our own background, but by the histories of all those with whom we choose to talk about our lives," he writes. As chillingly as it is wonderfully rendered, The White Road is sure to tread a scary route for even the most world-weary offense fiction fan.
