A River Red with Blood by John Connolly

There’s something especially thrilling about a story set close to home. And this one? It unfolds right here in Maine, deep in the rural Kennebec River Valley, where the water runs cold and the secrets run deep.

From New York Times bestselling author John Connolly comes the latest gripping installment in the beloved Charlie Parker series. Two intertwined disappearances have left a rural community reeling. The body of a young runaway from a “troubled teens” school has surfaced in the river, seemingly drowned. A teenage girl has vanished, believed dead. And it falls to private investigator Charlie Parker to untangle the connection—and to confront two evils, one chillingly new and one terribly ancient.

Connolly does what he does best here: weaving a darkly atmospheric thriller that lingers long after the final page. Equal parts crime novel and something a little more haunting, it’s the kind of book you’ll want to read in one sitting. Preferably with the rain tapping the windows and the sea murmuring just beyond.

If you love mysteries that crackle with suspense and characters that feel achingly real, you’ve found your next read. Newcomers can dive right in, and longtime Parker fans will savor every twist.

A handsome hardcover edition, fresh off the press. The kind of book that feels just right in your hands.
