Dark Hollow – John Connolly

Description

Dark Hollow by John Connolly is the second book in the Charlie Parker series. After the traumatic events of Every Dead Thing, private detective Charlie Parker returns to his hometown in Maine, hoping to find some measure of peace. But peace proves elusive when a case from his past resurfaces, and the quiet town reveals its dark secrets.

When a woman named Rita Ferris and her young son are brutally murdered, Parker is drawn into the investigation. His search for answers leads him to Dark Hollow, a place steeped in local legend and haunted by the ghostly echoes of past crimes. The trail soon points to the monstrous presence of Caleb Kyle, a figure of fear from Parker’s childhood — a man believed to be long dead but whose influence still lingers.

Connolly masterfully blends crime fiction with eerie supernatural elements, creating an atmosphere of dread and suspense.
