EVIL TAKES MANY FORMS.

PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR CHARLIE PARKER HUNTS THEM ALL.

‘John Connolly is the creator of a unique blend of thriller and horror who receives rave reviews every time’ Sunday Telegraph

The Furies: mythological snake-haired goddesses of vengeance, pursuers of those who have committed unavenged crimes. Now, private investigator Charlie Parker is drawn into a world of modern furies in two linked stories.

In The Sisters Strange, the return of the criminal Raum Buker to Portland, Maine brings with it chaos and murder, as an act of theft threatens not only to tear apart his own existence but also that of Raum’s former lovers, the enigmatic sisters Dolors and Ambar Strange.

And in The Furies Parker finds himself fighting to protect two more women as the city of Portland shuts down in the face of a global pandemic, but it may be that his clients are more capable of taking care of themselves than anyone could have imagined . . .

From the number one Sunday Times and multi-million-copy bestselling author John Connolly comes two linked stories in one novel and the most compelling and unsettling Charlie Parker case yet.

The Charlie Parker novels can be read and enjoyed in any order. The Furies is the landmark twentieth book in this globally bestselling series.

Reviews

Masterly genre-splicing thrillers . . . Connolly's grip is inexorable . . . the violent scenarios he paints are couched in prose that is often poetic
Financial Times
His dry sardonic, at times almost lyrical, language laced liberally with wry dark humour . . . Two novels for the price of one, and both excellent reads
Afterword
A novel with . . . depth, excitement . . . personality . . . Clever, sensitive and downright bold perceptions of the author as the stories . . . rise and fall among some of the weirdest and most brutal characters
