Flipbacks were invented in Holland by a Bible publisher. Known as Dwarsliggers in Holland, they were launched in 2009 and have been a huge success. Over 100 titles are now available in Dutch and over a million copies are now in print.

The terrifying thriller from the acclaimed and bestselling author of The Whisperers.

Three hundred years ago, the settlers on the small Maine island of Sanctuary were betrayed by one of their own, and slaughtered. Now a band of killers has returned to Sanctuary to seek revenge on a young woman and her son, and the only people who stand in their way are a young rookie officer and the island's resident policeman, the troubled giant known as Melancholy Joe Dupree. But Joe Dupree is no ordinary policeman. He is the guardian of the island's secrets, the repository of its memories. He knows that Sanctuary has been steeped in violence, and that its ghosts will tolerate the shedding of innocent blood no longer. On Sanctuary, the hunters are about to become the hunted.

Industry Reviews

Bad Men is thoughtful, dark and absolutely addictive - Irish Times

John Connolly writes like an angel, but about evil men and their diabolical deeds. . . Written with some style and by a man completely at ease with his work, Bad Men is probably John Connolly's best novel yet. It is five-star chill with enough menace to keep the pages turning well into the wee small hours. - Irish Times

Will the film version be directed by John Carpenter or Quentin Tarantino? . . . Connolly spins his gruesome yarn with relish - Mail on Sunday

A unique blend of crime and horror - Crime Time

In the crowded killing fields of crime fiction, John Connolly has quickly and decisively established himself as a unique voice. With BAD MEN he does it again, giving us a powerful story that is dark, daring and original. This one is his best. - Michael Connelly

Think Thomas Harris by way of Stephen King: haunting, compelling, but not for the faint of heart. - Publishers Weekly

Connolly writes like a poet . . . A stylish darkness sucks you under. - Kirkus Reviews
