Summary

 Grievously wounded private detective Charlie Parker investigates a case that has its origins in a Nazi concentration camp during the Second World War.

Broken, but undeterred, private detective Charlie Parker faces the darkest of dark forces in a case with its roots in the second world war, and a concentration camp unlike any other . . .

Recovering from a near-fatal shooting and tormented by memories of a world beyond this one, Parker has retreated to the small Maine town of Boreas to recover. There he befriends a widow named Ruth Winter and her young daughter, Amanda. But Ruth has her secrets. She is hiding from the past, and the forces that threaten her have their origins in the Second World War, in a town called Lubko and a concentration camp unlike any other. Old atrocities are about to be unearthed, and old sinners will kill to hide their sins. Now Parker is about to risk his life to defend a woman he barely knows, one who fears him almost as much as she fears those who are coming for her.

His enemies believe him to be vulnerable. Fearful. Solitary.

But they are wrong. Parker is far from afraid, and far from alone.

For something is emerging from the shadows . . .

Critic reviews

Connolly's writing moves at a gallop, and the uncanny touches to this story can raise the hairs on the back of your neck. Technically it's a thriller but actually it does more.
A Song of Shadows has it all - poetic writing, dark humour, a dash of the supernatural and a thoroughly chilling plot. Connolly is pure class.

Just keeps building and building until...

Such a wonderful storyteller and such complex characters who almost seem like old friends now.

Fascinating book, Parker finds his true purpose in this story,Start's slowly but builds beautify to an apt ending, I found the story very emotional concerning the atrocities committed by the Nazis and upsetting in parts.
Looking forward to the next chapter in Parker's fight against evil

Another cracking book

The Charlie Parker books go from strength to strength - can't wait for the next installment.

Best yet from this series.....

Whilst the story in isolation is a tad predictable and slews from the normal Charlie Parker plot it sets the scene for two parallel stories to unfold
Both the hunt for the names on the list and who or what is CP's daughter?

Opens up a whole new chapter of works

Yet another excellent Charlie Parker novel.
I love the development of Sam's character in this episode and can't wait to hear the next installment - which I have already purchased.

Jeff Harding brings the characters and story to life.

What a team!!

Please don't think about retiring Charlie Parker any time soon.
