THE BRAND NEW CHARLIE PARKER NOVEL, SET IN THE DARK WOODS OF MAINE AND THE DESERTS OF MEXICO: A MASTERPIECE OF TENSION AND DRAMA.

In Mexico, a rare books dealer returns to his shop to find it overrun with spiders, all circling a deadly presence lying in wait, seeking both answers and the still-warm heart from within his body.

Charlie Parker is asked by a friend to track down her lover who mysteriously disappeared without warning, his mobile phone showing only one word: RUN.

As Parker follows the trail left by this man, he is drawn into the dark world of artefacts dealers, of people trafficking, and of a mother who will stop at nothing to reunite her children, in this world or the next.
