About this ebook

***The Number One Bestseller***

EVIL TAKES MANY FORMS.
PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR CHARLIE PARKER HUNTS THEM ALL.

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 . . .

From the number one Sunday Times and multi-million-copy bestselling author John Connolly comes the most compelling and unsettling Charlie Parker thriller yet.

The Charlie Parker novels can be read and enjoyed in any order. A Game of Ghosts is the fifteenth book in this globally bestselling series.

Great Charlie Parker yarn continuing the saga. More ghostly than the earlier works which I find less appealing. Seems a bit hurried towards the end as if the completion date pressed or the was some aggressive editing to keep the page count down.

I have read all of the Charlie Parker books. The only books I was disappointed with were the ones that strayed away from the supernatural. This is packed with supernatural horror and my favourite characters, Louis and Angel. The storyline around his daughters is brilliant.
