Now he delivers spellbinding suspense as Charlie Parker races to unravel a brutal crime committed in the Deep South. After years of suffering unfathomable pain and guilt over the murders of his wife and daughter  private detective Charlie Parker has finally found some measure of peace. As he and his lover  Rachel  are awaiting the birth of their first child and settling into an old farmhouse in rural Maine  Parker has found the kind of solace often lost to those who have been touched by true evil. But darkness soon descends when Parker gets a call from Elliot Norton  an old friend from his days as a detective with the NYPD. Now practicing law in Charleston  South Carolina  Elliot is defending a young black man accused of raping and killing his white girlfriend  the daughter of a powerful Southern millionaire. Reluctantly  Parker agrees to help Elliot and by doing so ventures into a living nightmare  a bloody dreamscape haunted by the specter of a hooded woman and a black car waiting for a passenger who never arrives. Beginning as an investigation into a young womans death  it is a fast-moving descent into an abyss where forces conspire to destroy all that Parker holds dear. Hailed as a \"master storyteller\" (The London Express) by critics stateside and abroad  Connolly has once again delivered a riveting and suspenseful story that draws readers toward the horrifying crossroads of the past and present  of the living and the dead. \"We are trapped not only by our own history but by the histories of all those with whom we choose to share our lives \" he writes. As chillingly as it is beautifully rendered  The White Road is sure to tread a frightening path for even the most world-weary crime fiction fan.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44946195480629,"sku":"ByrdShop_0743456386","price":27.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780743456388_8cc1f46e-83d0-4b1e-b79f-856bfe28bc8f.jpg?v=1770147961","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-white-road","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
