'[An] absolute corker from Ireland's best mystery writer ... utterly gripping' ExpressThe players call it The Game. There are just two rules:No killing close to home. No Killing outside the gameBut what happens when those rules get broken?When the drowned body of a troubled teenager is recovered from a river in Maine's Kennebec Valley, and a young woman disappears from a small rural town, they draw the attention of the private investigator named Charlie Parker. Now Parker will be forced to confront a band of men without morality and without loyalty, not even to one another, in a place where the very darkness is alive.
Because something has emerged from the shadows, something very bad.
And it wants revenge.
