Dark hollow - John Connolly (Charlie Parker #2)

A terrible secret in the past.
An unspeakable presence in the woods.

Private detective Charlie Parker has come home. To the Maine landscape of his youth, the ghosts of his past and the brutal slaying of a young mother and her son. Forced to embark on a nerve-shredding manhunt, Parker soon closes in on his prime suspect. But someone else is tracking them both.

And the body count is rising.

To stop the killer, Parker will have to solve a thirty-year-old puzzle and map the nightmare wilderness of his own past and his own heart.

And confront a legend that is evil incarnate.
