Book Description:

Hailed as "one of the best" (Toronto Sun) writers of contemporary suspense fiction, international bestselling author John Connolly returns with an electrifying novel featuring his acclaimed private detective, Charlie Parker.

In South Carolina, a young black man faces the death penalty for the rape and murder of Marianne Larousse, daughter of one of the wealthiest men in the state. It's a case that nobody wants to touch, deeply rooted in old evil -- and old evil is Charlie Parker's specialty. He's about to enter a living nightmare, a dreamscape of sorrow haunted by the murderous specter of a hooded woman, by a black car waiting for a passenger that never comes, and by the sinister complicity of both friends and enemies in Larousse's brutal death. Soon, all will face a final reckoning in an unearthly realm where the paths of the living and the dead converge. A place known only as the White Road.

Another eloquent entry in the Charlie "Bird" Parker series. I love the supernatural element that always runs through his books. Dark, disturbing, yet beautifully written.

The one thing I really appreciate about John Connolly's novels is the amount of historical perspective and background he provides, this one is no exception.

The paths of the living and the dead converge in this interesting saga about the death penalty and racial tensions. Interesting read.

I tried really hard to get into this book. I found it disturbing. I tried twice and just couldn't seem to force my way through it.
