The White Road - John Connolly ... White Road, a bleak modern gothic tale detailing the tortured detective's metaphorical journey into the unthought of depths of the underworld as he follows a trail of horrors in America's deep South. Doggedly loyal to old friends and stubbornly supportive of lost causes, Parker encounters his own ghosts in a place where atmosphere alone would murder hope. The chilling preacher Faulkner is again a dark presence in the background while Parker's friends, Angel and Louis, damaged and deadly, follow their own avenging trail. There can be no greater compliment to Connolly's powers of description than to say that no US writer could improve on the Irish journalist's masterly summoning of the roots of American regional evil and sense of place. Superb storytelling that binds diverse and hypnotic strands of plot with Biblical overtones and fury. The villains are larger than life and diabolically unforgettable: from the strange and menacing Mr Kittim to deformed killer Cyrus Nairn, both of whom lead Parker down one shadowy road after another. Compelling adventures from start to finish, if the very stuff of waking nightmares. The dark side has never proven so damn seductive.

 ... physically and mentally from the time of his capture at the hands of Faulkner and his son, Leonard Pudd, he is a shadow of his former self and even partner Louis is not sure how to fix him. When Parker is asked to help on the case of a young black man wrongly accused of murder in Carolina, the pair take time-out to settle an old score of their own. Meanwhile, Parker discovers once again that like with Jack Mercier and his most recent case, he is not being told the full story and that the old friend who hired his services...more

Rating:

When Charlie Parker visits the Reverend Faulkner in prison, the man who was the real leader behind the religious group known as The Fellowship, he is left quite literally with a bad taste in the back of his throat. After spitting in Parker's mouth, Faulkner tells the Private Investigator that he "will be able to see now what I see." And, indeed, upon leaving the jail, Parker sees a vision of the Black Angels, normally reserved for his nightmares, hovering over the prison and perched on it's walls. To everyone else they appear as ravens but this is not the first visitation that Parker has had. Recently a battered and ruined coup-de-ville has been seen driving up ...  Read the complete review

Some real talent here, some of the stories are very chilling. None of them are quite long enough to leave the reader feeling entirely satisfied.

A great cast of characters, in-depth opening and fast-paced finale! Bond character a little weak, slow middle

good battle half very sketchy buildup and intro half
