Chronicle In Pursuance Of Books The White Road (Charlie Parker #4)

John Connolly thrilled readers with his bestselling novels, "Every Dead Thing, Dark Hollow," and "The Killing Kind." Now he delivers spellbinding suspense as Charlie Parker races to unravel a brutal crime committed in the Deep South. After years of suffering unfathomable pain and guilt over the murders of his wife and daughter, private detective Charlie Parker has finally found some measure of peace. As he and his lover, Rachel, are awaiting the birth of their first child and settling into an old farmhouse in rural Maine, Parker has found the kind of solace often lost to those who have been touched by true evil. But darkness soon descends when Parker gets a call from Elliot Norton, an old friend from his days as a detective with the NYPD. Now practicing law in Charleston, South Carolina, Elliot is defending a young black man accused of raping and killing his white girlfriend, the daughter of a powerful Southern millionaire. Reluctantly, Parker agrees to help Elliot and by doing so ventures into a living nightmare, a bloody dreamscape haunted by the specter of a hooded woman and a black car waiting for a passenger who never arrives. Beginning as an investigation into a young woman's death, it is a fast-moving descent into an abyss where forces conspire to destroy all that Parker holds dear. Hailed as a "master storyteller" "(The London Express)" by critics stateside and abroad, Connolly has once again delivered a riveting and suspenseful story that draws readers toward the horrifying crossroads of the past and present, of the living and the dead. "We are trapped not only by our own history but by the histories of all those with whom we choose to share our lives," hewrites. As chillingly as it is beautifully rendered, "The White Road" is sure to tread a frightening path for even the most world-weary crime fiction fan.

Column Epithetical Books The White Road (Charlie Parker #4)

This series has become so reliably excellent, I don't know if I should even bother praising the writing or the suspense or the character development, all of which were in fact excellent. I would say that out of all Charlie Parker books so far this one is the least easily read as a stand alone, since it follows the same antagonist as Killing Kind. One of my favorite things about this book was the fact that we finally get a background on Angel and Louis, my favorite homicidal couple. More

"To invite me into their lives was to admit failure and allow death its provenance, for I was the one who arrived when all hope was gone, offering nothing but the possibility of a resolution that would bring with it more grief and pain and a knowledge that perhaps would make ignorance appear like a blessing. The only consolation in all that would occur was that some small measure of justice might begin to accrue from my involvement, that lives might continue with some small degree of certainty

I ended up breezing through this book because I could not put it down. This series is starting to become one of my favorites with the combination of thriller along with supernatural elements. Not so much supernatural that it would turn off the hardcore thriller enthusiasts.This book continues the story of Charlie "Bird" Parker from the ending of The Killing Kind. Tying into the story of the "Preacher", an investigation into a South Carolina murder in which Parker investigates the murder of a

Not as good as the first 3 but perhaps may be due to being a direct sequel to The Killing Kind which I read a while ago.Nevertheless, I will certainly try another book in the series

While I found it to be an intensely interesting tale, I would not recommend that others who are unfamiliar with Connollys writing begin with this one.First, this is the fourth installement of his Charlie Parker series, and The White Road is littered with several references to past occurrences that would have better served this reader had I read the previous works. (May I say, Connolly does an excellent job of flushing out the back-story to keep the reader from being confused; but the storyline

2nd reading - Our investigator Parker is asked by an old friend, S.C. lawyer Elliot, to investigate his client, a black man accused of killing his white girlfriend. The girl's family has money, and would like nothing better than bypass the justice system and deal justice themselves. That begins the unfolding of decades of racism and the lies told to cover it up.Connolly does his usual awesome job researching the history and geography of his novels, giving us white supremacists and the ancestors
