'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 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 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. Praise for John 'John Connolly is the creator of a unique blend of thriller and horror who receives rave reviews every time' Sunday Telegraph 'Dark and dangerous ... but where there is also kindness, loyalty, love' Irish Examiner 'To my mind, Connolly is Ireland's Stephen King' Matt Nixson, The Express
