Hardback: It is deep winter.
The darkness is unending.
The private detective named Jaycob Eklund has vanished, and Charlie Parker is dispatched to track him down. Parker's employer, Edgar Ross, an agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, has his own reasons for wanting Eklund found.
Eklund is no ordinary investigator. He is obsessively tracking a series of homicides and disappearances, each linked to reports of hauntings. Now Parker will be drawn into Eklund's world, a realm in which the monstrous Mother rules a crumbling criminal empire, in which men strike bargains with angels, and in which the innocent and guilty alike are pawns in a game of ghosts.
A Game of Ghosts (2017) is the fifteenth and latest book in the formidable and fine Charlie Parker thriller series.
About the author: John Connolly was born in Dublin in 1968. His debut, Every Dead Thing (1999), swiftly launched him right into the front rank of thriller writers, and all his subsequent novels have been Sunday Times bestsellers.
Books To Die For, which he edited with Declan Burke, was the winner of the 2013 Anthony, Agatha and Macavity Awards for Best Non-fiction. He was the first non-American writer to win the US Shamus award, and the first Irish writer to be awarded the Edgar by the Mystery Writers of America. He keeps a website and can be found on Facebook and on Twitter @jconnollybooks.
