Summary
It is 1999, and someone is slaughtering young black women in Burdon County, Arkansas.
But no one wants to admit it, not in the Dirty South.
In an Arkansas jail cell sits a former NYPD detective, stricken by grief. He is mourning the death of his wife and child and searching in vain for their killer. He cares only for his own lost family.
But that is about to change....
Witness the becoming of Charlie Parker.

excellent as expected
A brilliant prequel to the Charlie Parker saga and regular readers wont be disappointed. Its good to get a look at what forces created the character we've all come to love with the subtle presence of the supernatural hanging around him like a cloak. very enjoyable and finished in two sittings.

Fabulous throwback for Charlie Parker
The Charlie Parker books are amongst my absolute favourites and this one has made me love them even more. A brilliant insight into Charlie in the months following the death of his wife and daughter. Really opens up his mindset. Also great to see an early appearance from Angel and Louis. If ever I’m in trouble, these are the guys I want on my side. Narrator was excellent and no silly accents to ruin my listen on this one. First class.

Enjoyable audiobook
I thoroughly enjoyed the audiobook, I have read and listened to all the Charlie Parker series, I did think John Connolly was about to retire the detective but he is back to his best, read by Jeff Harding who is superb as usual, I’m sure everyone who follows the series will enjoy this book, looking forward to the next; seem to be growing older together

Not the best Charlie Parker story
I was so excited to order this book but have to say I'm a little disappointed with it. The book was enjoyable enough and as ever it's beautifully read, but I felt cheated out of knowing the next part of the Charlie Parker story, I want to move forwards not backwards.

Overly long
Because it’s about another loner searching for justice and both are narrated by Jeff Harding it occasionally feels like you’re listening to a Jack Reacher novel, except more trouble seems to meet Reacher. Entertaining none the less.

Connolly at his best
This is the first Parker book I’ve listened to but I’ve read all of the rest.
I was concerned that I wouldn’t like the narrator after listening to him on a Jack Reacher novel but he was actually very good once you got going.
The story and more particularly the storytelling was as good as ever.
Normally I just listen to books on my commute but this one had me rushing to listen whenever I had the chance.
Well worth the 1 credit!

Just to long.
Good story but very long,far to long. Fifteen hours twenty two minutes.I was fed up with it long before the end.It went over things again and again and was boring at times.
