Every Dead Thing

by John Connolly
Every Dead Thing
Every Dead Thing

Haunting detective thriller, visceral revenge quest.

If you've got a taste for gritty detective stories with a touch of the supernatural, "Every Dead Thing" could be just the read for you. John Connolly skillfully blends a bone-chilling narrative with a deep dive into human emotion and resilience. Charlie Parker isn't your average PI; he's a man on the brink, driven by loss and longing for justice, making every twist in this dark journey feel intensely personal. The atmospheric tension Connolly builds will have you gripped, and possibly leave you wanting to sleep with the lights on.

Tortured by the unsolved slayings of his wife and young daughter, he is a man consumed by guilt, regret, and the desire for revenge.

But the search awakens buried instincts in Parker: instincts for survival, for compassion, for love, and, ultimately, for killing. Aided by a beautiful young psychologist and a pair of bickering career criminals, Parker becomes the bait in a trap set in the humid bayous of Louisiana, a trap that threatens the lives of everyone in its reach. Driven by visions of the dead and the voice of an old black psychic who met a terrible end, Parker must seek a final, brutal confrontation with a murderer who has moved beyond all notions of humanity, who has set out to create a hell on earth, the serial killer known only as the Traveling Man. In the tradition of
