Book 23 in the Charlie Parker series by John Connolly, A River Red With Blood, takes us to Maine where the body of a teenager is found while at the same time, a young woman disappears. Are these two cases connected? Private investigator Charlie Parker is on the double case, trying to find connections while realizing that a group of evil men are playing a sordid game who set some very specific rules. But while tracking down the group, he realizes that there is something even more sinister at work, an ancient evil that wants revenge, that he has to go up against if he wants to solve both cases.

The players call it The Game. There are just two rules:
No Killing Close to Home. No Killing Outside the Game
But what happens when those rules get broken?
When the drowned body of a troubled teenager is recovered from a river in Maine’s Kennebec Valley, and a young woman disappears from a small rural town, they draw the attention of the private investigator named Charlie Parker.
Now Parker will be forced to confront a band of men without morality and without loyalty, not even to one another, in a place where the very darkness is alive.
Because something has emerged from the shadows, something very bad.
And it wants revenge. In a darkly brilliant thriller set in Maine’s rural Kennebec River Valley, the body of a young runaway from a “troubled teens” school has been found in the water, seemingly drowned, while a teenage girl has gone missing, believed dead. Now it is up to one man, private investigator Charlie Parker, to find the connection, and bring two evils—one new and one ancient—to an end…
