Charlie Parker

The New York Times-bestselling author tells the story behind private detective Charlie Parker, the haunted hero of John Connolly's eerie supernatural crime thrillers.

Recounting his days as a journalist for the Irish Times and the Dublin murder that led him to question the ways we think about perpetrators and victims; discussing his crime-fiction idols; and reflecting on empathy and evil, John Connolly offers a short work that lets us learn more about his character Charlie Parker, a former NYPD detective who loses everything and struggles to remain human in the aftermath, and about the writer himself.
