“Mr. Connolly’s hit thriller is packed with memorable characters and boasts spoilers among spoilers.” (Wall Street Journal).

“Awesome…Connolly is writing at the top of his game.” (Publishers Weekly, star rating)

The New York Times best-selling author of A Book of Bones and “one of the best thriller writers we have” (Harlan Coben, number one New York Times best-selling author) goes back to the very beginning of Private Investigator Charlie Parker’s astonishing career with his first terrifying case.

It’s 1997, and someone is massacring young women in Burdon County, Arkansas.

But no one in Dirty South wanted to admit it.

In an Arkansas cell, a former NYPD detective is grieving. He is mourning the deaths of his wife and children, while searching in vain for their killers. Haunted by revenge for his lost family, his life is about to take a shocking turn.

Witness the rise of conscience. Witness the birth of a hunter. Witness the rise of Charlie Parker.
