The Children of Eve
The “consistently high-quality” (Booklist) Charlie Parker series continues with a white-knuckled new thriller from New York Times bestselling author John Connolly.
Wyatt Riggins, the boyfriend of rising Maine artist Zetta Nadeau, has gone missing, leaving behind a cell phone containing a single-word message: 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 Mexico: three girls and a boy, all belonging to the cartel boss Blás 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.

Reviews
Another well written mystery in classic John Connolly fashion. Great character and plot development that wasn’t rushed, with just enough detail to color the story properly. Well done!

series just keeps getting better. Keep the good work Dr. Connolly.

Where other authors (cough cough Lee Child) have a certain formula that they do not deviate from, Mr. Connelly continues to tweak his formula and keeps you on the edge of your seat. While the three protagonists might previously have gone in guns blazing, with Parker in a spiritual battle with La Senora, our heroes have aged to fight another day, you are left with the sense that Parker’s life is in more peril now than it was when facing the Traveling Man.
