'Connolly grips like a vice and he's an extraordinary storyteller' Crime Time
'One of the best thriller writers we have' Harlan Coben

Wyatt Riggins, the boyfriend of rising Maine artist Zetta Nadeau, has gone missing, leaving behind a cell phone containing a single-word message: RUN.

Private investigator Charlie Parker is hired to find out why Riggins has fled, and from whom.

Parker discovers that Riggins, an ex-soldier, has been involved in the abduction of four children from Mexico: three girls and a boy, all belonging to the cartel boss Blas Urrea - except Urrea's family is safe and well in Mexico, which means the abductees cannot be his children. Yet whoever they are, Urrea wants them back, and has dispatched his agents to secure them, even if it means butchering everyone who stands in their way.

One of those agents is Eugene Seeley, a clever, ruthless solver of other men's problems. The other is an unknown woman.

Every child has a mother. Now Charlie Parker will face one unlike any other, and learn the terrifying truth about the Children of Eve.

I always enjoy the Parker-stories, and I enjoyed this one. But that said it was not the best of the series. A little messy, not much Parker and co. All in all a bit thin compared to some of the other books.

As time moves on for Charlie and friends whatever he hides deep inside will surely return to be confronted.

Another excellent combination of hard reality and glimpsed unknowns.

Already looking forward to the next step on the journey

Loved the plot, the imagery, the suspense, the unsaid parts, the eeriness, the connection with Jennifer and Sam. Can’t wait for the next instalment. Also great narration.

A classic Charlie Parker Book
