This world is full of broken things
The psychiatrist Daniel Clay has been missing for years following allegations about the harm done to children in his care. If he's dead, some might say he got off lightly.
But the killer Merrick does not believe Daniel Clay is dead. Merrick was in prison when his child disappeared while being treated by Clay. Now he wants answers from Clay's daughter Rebecca, and if she can't provide them, he'll settle for revenge. Only private investigator Charlie Parker stands in his way.
But Daniel Clay may not have been acting alone, and neither is Merrick. Dark forces are gathering, intent on protecting old secrets - or revealing them. To shine a light on the past, Parker may have to set a fire that burns everything, and everyone, in its path.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this scary, cerebral thriller from bestseller Connolly, his fifth to feature world-weary Maine PI Charlie Parker (after 2005's The Black Angel), Parker is haunted by the ghosts of his wife and daughter, who died under mysterious circumstances that left him guilt-ridden. Parker is drawn again into the darkest recesses of human nature when a new client, Rebecca Clay, retains him to protect her against a menacing stalker, Frank Merrick, who believes Rebecca knows the whereabouts of her father, Daniel, a child psychiatrist who vanished years before. Merrick suspects Daniel knows the truth about the fate of his own young daughter, whom Daniel treated and who disappeared without a trace while Merrick was incarcerated. Connolly is a master of suggestion, creating mood and suspense with ease, and unflinchingly presents a hard-eyed look at the horrors that can lurk in quiet, rustic settings. 12-city author tour.
