About this listen

The “consistently high-quality” (Booklist) Charlie Parker series continues with a white-knuckled new thriller from New York Times bestselling author John Connolly.

Wyatt Riggins, the boyfriend of rising Maine artist Zetta Nadeau, has gone missing, leaving behind a cell phone containing a single-word message: RUN. Private investigator Charlie Parker is hired to find out why Riggins has fled, and from whom.

Parker discovers that Riggins, an ex-soldier, has been involved in the abduction of four children from Mexico: three girls and a boy, all belonging to the cartel boss Blas Urrea—except Urrea’s family is safe and well in Mexico, which means the abductees cannot be his children. Yet whoever they are, Urrea wants them back, and has dispatched his agents to secure them, even if it means butchering everyone who stands in their way.

One of those agents is Eugene Seeley, a clever, ruthless solver of other men’s problems. The other is an unknown woman.

Every child has a mother. Now Charlie Parker will face one unlike any other, and learn the terrifying truth about the Children of Eve.

Most interesting twist on the private detective genre, ever!

The story was interesting and well plottted as always and anoother solid link in the chain of this very peculiar detective's story. Charlie Parker is not you average detective and he doesn't deal with the average criminal, at least not most of the time. The weird and supernatural elements are what makes this series really stand out for me.

Not the best of the Charlie Parker series… But still good

As always, the writing was superb… But the plot, my best be described as baroque, confusing… And just dull at times. Also the endless teasing about the true nature of Charlie Parker, without ever making any progress towards the reveal, becomes tiresome after a while.

The language of Mr. Connelly's tale weaves a realm of unreality that becomes all too real. Parker and his intimates are solid and, for the most part, intelligent. His world is not one I would like to inhabit. But, an occasional visit is marvelous.

Will this story ever fully develop???

I LOVED the Charlie Parker series. Louie, Angel, the eerie good vs Evil thread. That being said can we finally get to it. I’ve grown tired & bored of these semi mystery thriller that kinda resolves but ultimately just continues the same undeveloped story. I need this series to start hitting harder and get to its climax or at the very least level up. I need more. Both me and Charlie are tired. 22 books! Come on let’s turn up the heat. Either better stand alone cases or go all in with who/what Charlie is to all of this. PLEASE.

Disappointed

That this book wasted my time and I’m a big fan of the Charlie Parker books I’ve read them all.
