There was a presence out there among the trees, and it watched . . .
Deep in the forests of northern Maine, two woodsmen discover a crashed aeroplane. There are no passengers, no pilots and no record of its disappearance. But among the wreckage, they find a list: of powerful men, the deals they have made, and the evil they have committed.
Years later, private investigator Charlier Parker learns of the list’s existence and begins searching for it, inadvertently triggering the interest of monsters from his own past, bent on using the list for their own ends.
But as these forces violently converge, it becomes clear that someone – something – has survived the crash.
And it is waiting.
‘Ingenious, seriously scary and plausible’

‘Haunting, scary and addictive . . . the finest crime series currently in existence’

Reviews
Few thriller writers can create a sense of menace and evil as deftly as Connolly does. Compelling.
Connolly has always managed to deftly juggle the essential elements of genre fiction with his own supernatural flavour and WRATH is no exception . . . Connolly has crafted [Parker] so expertly.
Connolly returns to page-turning form with his depiction of a moral world at the mercy of epic conspiracy and remorseless, primordial evil
This thriller might just have you grasping for your childhood teddy.
His latest plot is a clever mixture of quest and chase . . . rarely fails to sing
Skilful at humour and building suspense, Connolly's writing is also poignant and at times downright beautiful
Ingenious, seriously scary and plausible . . . Excellent
Connolly's writing is poetic, mystical - and almost impossible to put down
Haunting, scary and addictive . . . the finest crime series currently in existence.
With Connolly, good and evil are always too close for comfort.
You may think at times you are reading a literary novel but then Connolly will remind you he's just as adept at the violent strategies of the thriller. Either way you will be left shaken by the experience.
