A pulse-pounding thriller featuring Detective Charlie Parker from the bestselling author of The Wrath of Angels.

His client is dead. But Charlie Parker will not rest . . .

The community of Prosperous, Maine, has always thrived when others have suffered. Its inhabitants are wealthy, its children's future secure. It shuns outsiders. It guards its own.

The death of a homeless man and the disappearance of his daughter draw the haunted, lethal private investigator Charlie Parker to Prosperous. Parker is a dangerous man, driven by compassion, by rage, and by the desire for vengeance. In him the town and its protectors sense a threat graver than any they have faced in their long history, and in the comfortable, sheltered inhabitants of a small Maine town, Parker will encounter his most vicious opponents yet.

Charlie Parker has been marked to die so that Prosperous may survive.

Industry Reviews

Superb . . . this thriller underlines just how fine a writer Connolly has become - Daily Mail

Contains Connolly's usual brilliance with plot, dialogue, setting, humour and writing that is at times poetic - Independent on Sunday

[What] is so impressive [is] the fact that he's able to work poetic language into the thriller format . . . You may think at times you are reading a literary novel but then Connolly will remind you he's just as adept at the violent strategies of the thriller. Either way you will be left shaken by the experience. - Daily Express

John Connolly never fails to please and with this latest in the long-running Charlie Parker he has delivered yet another superb thriller. With THE WOLF IN WINTER, he gives us a slice of the old world in the new world with one of the creepiest churches you will ever read about. - crimesquad

THE WOLF IN WINTER is a brilliant performance from one of our finest writers. - Irish Times

John Connolly goes from strength to strength and I for one cannot wait to read the next instalment. Dark, moody and gripping, THE WOLF IN WINTER is not to be missed. One more thing - that ending - Wow! - Milo s Rambles

Connolly's writing is poetic, mystical - and almost impossible to put down - Woman & Home

Connolly's writing flows beautifully . . . part of the novel's effect is created by having some very dark, often violent, moments described in such poetic language - it adds to the unease . . . Connolly is back on top - if you've yet to discover him it's a good time to start. - Killing Time
