In John Connolly's tenth Charlie Parker novel, Anna Kore, a 14-year-old girl, goes missing in the small and isolated town of Pastor's Bay on the Maine coast. Troubled private investigator Charlie Parker is surprised to find himself involved in the case. His client is not the child's distraught mother, Valerie, but rather a reclusive local accountant called Randall Haight, who fears he will become the prime suspect in the child's disappearance. Randall Haight has a secret: when he was a teenager, he and his friend killed a 14-year-old girl. Randall did his time and built a new life in Pastor's Bay, but somebody has discovered the truth about Randall. He is being tormented by anonymous messages, haunting reminders of his past crime, and he wants private detective Charlie Parker to make it stop. The missing girl's family has its own secrets to protect and Parker must unravel a web of deceit involving the police, the FBI, a doomed mobster named Tommy Morris, and Randall Haight himself. Because Randall Haight is telling lies...
