The Burning Soul by John Connolly
Randall Haight has a secret: when he was a teenager, he and his friend killed a 14-year-old girl. Randall did his time and built a new life in the small Maine town of Pastor's Bay, but somebody has discovered the truth about Randall. He is being tormented by anonymous messages, haunting reminders of his past crime, and he wants private detective Charlie Parker to make it stop. But another 14-year-old girl has gone missing, this time from Pastor's Bay, and the missing girl's family has its own secrets to protect. Now Parker must unravel a web of deceit involving the police, the FBI, a doomed mobster named Tommy Morris, and Randall Haight himself. Because Randall Haight is telling lies ...
'He's compared with Stephen King because his tales have a touch of the supernatural - but crime writer John Connolly is a star in his own rightThe Irishman has more than proved himself and the new Charlie Parker novel The Burning Soul is another cracking read.' -- Sun 'Connolly ties the plot strands together with consummate skill ... a gripping whodunnit ... genuinely chilling ... Connolly delivers what his readers have come to expect: a few belly laughs, some shivers down the spine and a compelling mystery ... few writers can compete with him.' -- The Sunday Times 20110925 'Vintage JC.' -- Express 20110930 'In THE BURNING SOUL, John Connolly has delivered a cracking good tale that seamlessly blends suspense, mystery and just the lightest touch of his signature supernatural ambience. As always, Connolly writes beautifully. He brings the backwoods of Maine alive, and the main and secondary characters are all acutely observed' -- Irish Independent 20110903 'A highly accomplished writer' -- Irish Times 20110903 'An intelligent, plausible thriller, both harrowing and memorable.' -- Kirkus Reviews 20110815
