Charlie Parker returns in the chilling thriller from the Sunday Times bestselling author of THE LOVERS
The border between Maine and Canada is porous. Anything can be smuggled across it: drugs, cash, weapons, people.
Now a group of disenchanted former soldiers has begun its own smuggling operation, and what is being moved is infinitely stranger and more terrifying than anyone can imagine. Anyone, that is, except private detective Charlie Parker, who has his own intimate knowledge of the darkness in men's hearts.
But the soldiers' actions have attracted the attention of the reclusive Herod, a man with a taste for the strange. And where Herod goes, so too does the shadowy figure that he calls the Captain. To defeat them, Parker must form an uneasy alliance with a man he fears more than any other, the killer known as the Collector . . .
Praise for The Whisperers: Private Investigator Charlie Parker hunts evil in the ninth book in the globally bestselling series
-
A tour de force finale in a book which will sure be a bestseller this summer. It well deserves to be. - Independent on Sunday
-
This is one of Connolly's darker, scarier novels, all the more effective for the way the supernatural elements arise organically out of the realistic detail - Guardian
-
Connolly subtly combines the supernatural with the traditional crime story to superb effect. And in Herod, a man being eaten by cancer, he may have created his creepiest villain yet. - Sun
-
Another creepy thriller from a modern master - Daily Mirror
-
Brilliant, terrifying and effortlessly seductive, I defy anyone to put this thriller down - it is sensational. - Daily Mail
-
As ever with Connolly, the macabre narrative is couched in prose that is often allusive and poetic. - Independent
-
His latest plot is a clever mixture of quest and chase, written in prose that unfolds at warp speed - Observer
-
Supernatural thriller by Dublin's finest. - Herald Magazine
