Jonathan Ball Publishers and Exclusive Books invite you to an evening with internationally bestselling author John Connolly!

The award-winning Irish author of the bestselling Charlie Parker series and The Land of Lost Things will be in conversation with radio host John Maytham to discuss his latest book, The Instruments of Darkness.

About the book

A child missing. A mother accused. Charlie Parker is their only hope.

In Maine, Colleen Clark stands accused of the worst crime a mother can commit: the abduction and possible murder of her child. Everyone – ambitious politicians in an election season, hardened police, ordinary folk – has an opinion on the case, and most believe she is guilty.

But most is not all. Defending Colleen is the lawyer Moxie Castin, and working alongside him is the private investigator Charlie Parker, who senses the tale has another twist, one involving a husband too eager to accept his wife’s guilt, a disgraced psychic seeking redemption, and an old crooked house deep in the Maine woods, a house that should never have been built.

A house, and what dwells beneath.
