Hardback: 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.
And at the heart of Prosperous lie the ruins of an ancient church, transported stone by stone from England centuries earlier by the founders of the town. A secret lies beneath its ruins.
But 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...
The Wolf in Winter (2014) is the twelfth book in the chilling Charlie Parker thriller series.
