About this ebook

There was a presence out there among the trees, and it watched . . .

Deep in the forests of northern Maine, two woodsmen discover a crashed aeroplane. There are no passengers, no pilots and no record of its disappearance. But among the wreckage, they find a list: of powerful men, the deals they have made, and the evil they have committed.

Years later, private investigator Charlier Parker learns of the list's existence and begins searching for it, inadvertently triggering the interest of monsters from his own past, bent on using the list for their own ends.

But as these forces violently converge, it becomes clear that someone - something - has survived the crash.

And it is waiting.

I liked the book until the end ...... what a fizzle that was... i seriously waiting for some awesome thrilling ending and I got nothing.... if a book is going to clam it's a thriller then it should actually be a bloody thriller ... i give this book a reluctant 3 stars

Once I start one of John Connolly's novels I simply can't stop till the end. Forced by life's intrusions at times and dread leaving it alone for a while.

A refresh read of 10 up before starting the new Charlie and then Angel and Louis. An aeroplane in the woods, all of the main and secondary players, a betrayal done for right reasons and loss. Excellent book.
