'Book lovers and fans of John Connolly will not be disappointed by this remarkable standalone novel' INDEPENDENT
'I've been waiting for this book for over 15 years and it is everything I hoped it would be and more. Simply breathtaking' MARK BILLINGHAM
'Dark and beautiful' HEAT Phoebe, an eight-year-old girl, lies comatose following a car accident. She is a body without a spirit, a stolen child. Ceres, her mother, can only sit by her bedside and read aloud to Phoebe the fairy stories she loves in the hope they might summon her back to this world.
But it is hard to keep faith, so very hard.
Now an old house on the hospital grounds, a property connected to a book written by a vanished author, is calling to Ceres. Something wants her to enter, and to journey - to a land coloured by the memories of Ceres's childhood, and the folklore beloved of her father, to a land of witches and dryads, giants and mandrakes; to a land where old enemies are watching, and waiting.
To the Land of Lost Things.
For anyone who loved THE BOOK OF LOST THINGS and for all readers who enjoy dark, beautifully written fables that explore the heart of the human condition: love, loyalty and sacrifice.
On a lonely moor in the northeast of England, the body of a young woman is discovered near the site of a vanished church. In the south, a girl lies buried beneath a Saxon mound. To the southeast, the ruins of a priory hide a human skull.
Each is a sacrifice, a summons.
And something in the darknesss has heard the call.
But another is coming: Parker the hunter, the avenger. Parker's mission takes him from Maine to the deserts of the Mexican border; from the canals of Amsterdam to the streets of London, he will track those who would cast this world into darkness.
Charlie Parker powraca.
Jego koszmary także......
Spokój w rodzinie Parkera był ciszą przed kolejną burzą....
Takie połączenie thrillera i opowieści grozy mogło się udać tylko pisarzowi z niebywałym talentem...
Tego pisarza znają już czytelnicy ( i kolekcjonerzy) kryminalnych historii z życia Charliego `Birda` Parkera. Tym razem jednak John Connolly zaproponował cykl `opowieści z dreszczykiem`. I choć wydawałoby się, że nawiedzone domy, dzieci ginące bez wieści czy stwory z tamtego świata już nikogo nie przestraszą, to lektura tych perełek nowelistyki grozy - `Rytuału kości`, `Ruchomych piasków` czy `Kotłowni` - może mieć wpływ na niejedne drzwi i okna szczelnie zamknięte kolejnego wieczoru.
