    A Book of Bones: Private Investigator Charlie Parker hunts evil in the seventeenth book in the globally bestselling series

    John Connolly

    Formats & Editions

    The new thrilling instalment of John Connolly's popular CHARLIE PARKER series.

    He is our best hope.

    He is our last hope.

    On a lonely moor in the northeast of England, the body of a young woman is discovered near the site of a vanished church. In the south, a girl lies buried beneath a Saxon mound. To the southeast, the ruins of a priory hide a human skull.

    And something in the shadows has heard the call.

    But another is coming: Parker the hunter, the avenger. Parker's mission takes him from Maine to the deserts of the Mexican border; from the canals of Amsterdam to the streets of London - he will track those who would cast this world into darkness.

    Parker fears no evil.

    But evil fears him . . .
