A song of shadows - John Connolly (Charlie Parker #13)

Grievously wounded but unbroken, private investigator Charlie Parker faces the darkest of forces in a case with its roots in the Second World War, and a concentration camp unlike any other.

Recovering from a near-fatal shooting, and tormented by memories of a world beyond this one, Parker has retreated to the small Maine town of Boreas to recover. There he befriends a woman named Ruth Winter and her young daughter. But Ruth has her secrets. Old atrocities are about to be unearthed, and old sinners will kill to hide their sins. Now Parker is about to risk his life to defend a woman he barely knows, one who fears him almost as much as she fears those who are coming for her.

His enemies believe him to be vulnerable. Fearful. Solitary.

But they are wrong. Parker is far from afraid, and far from alone.

For something is emerging from the shadows...
