Dark Hollow

In his second masterful thriller, John Connolly increases the pressure to the boiling point as he stakes his claim among the most important new voices in suspense. After his wife and daughter are brutally slain, ex-cop Charlie "Bird" Parker leaves the mean streets of New York behind and returns to his native Maine. But for Charlie peace is elusive as the killings of another mother and child put him on the trail of a murderer with connections deep in Charlie's own past and new evidence arises in the long-ago deaths of his father and grandfather.
