A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

PRAISE FOR P.J. PARRISH
A THOUSAND BONES
"P.J. Parrish writes high-class suspense that delivers a powerful read every time. A THOUSAND BONES grips you by the throat and sends chills down your spine, stunningly crafted page after page, on the way to a thrilling climax."
--Linda Fairstein
"American crime fiction at its finest - beautifully written, beautifully imagined, yet packed with raw power ... like an iron fist in a velvet glove."
--Lee Child
"the book continues to sizzle with taut suspense and the promise of a tumultuous conclusion. Keen attention to detail and thorough character development get equal billing with scintillating thrills"
--Publisher's Weekly
DEAD OF WINTER
"DEAD OF WINTER is a wild ride with a really fine writer."
--John Sandford
DARK OF THE MOON
"DARK OF THE MOON is a fine, fine read. It is a story full of intrigue and edge of the seat suspense. But best of all is the character at its center: Louis Kincaid. Dogged and noble, carrying his history close to his heart, Kincaid is a welcome new addition to the literary landscape of crime fiction."
--Michael Connelly, New York Times bestselling author
"Put DARK OF THE MOON at the top of your must read list. In P. J. Parrish's impressive debut novel, we are introduced to Louis Kincaid, a tough three-dimensional man with all the psychological and racial complexity of a James Lee Burke character. In digging through the layers of prejudice and hatred of a small southern town to solve a long ago lynching, Kincaid is forced to confront his own difficult history and simmering rage in ways that are both literarily rich and dramatically exciting. DARK OF THE MOON is a fine, solid novel with excitement and intelligence galore. And Parrish is an author to read, collect and root for."
--James W. Hall, author of BODY LANGUAGE and RED SKY AT NIGHT
"DARK OF THE MOON is an exceptional novel. Set in a Mississippi town during the mid-1980's, it provides a watch-tower from which we can see back into the racial murders of the early 'sixties. Louis Kincaid, a newly minted bi-racial detective, is both perfect and poignant as the principal investigator of a lynching, still recent enough to be lodged-and lurking-in all citizens' memories. The police work rings true, and the scenes of confrontation, from the subtle to the startling, are magnificently rendered. A southern version of SNOW FALLING ON CEDARS, this novel by P.J. Parrish is sure to be a contender for all the major mystery awards."
--Jeremiah Healy, author of THE ONLY GOOD LAWYER and THE STALKING OF SHEILAH QUINN
"DARK OF THE MOON has a compelling plot with a satisfying resolution and very real sense of place. Parrish creates characters that are drawn with compassion and depth. A compelling new voice in mystery fiction."
--Eleanor Taylor Bland, author of SEE NO EVIL and TELL NO TALES
"DARK OF THE MOON is one of those rare reading experiences, where the everyday details of my life took a back seat to the compulsive need to turn pages. Steeped in atmosphere, and peopled with fully-developed characters, this is a novel not to be missed."
--John Gilstrap, author of AT ALL COSTS and NATHAN'S RUN

Quatrième de couverture :

The first Louis Kincaid thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of A Thousand Bones
Thirty years ago, a young man mysteriously vanished from rural Black Pool, Mississippi. Now his skeleton has been discovered in a murky swamp, a length of rope entwined in its bones…

With a veil of suspicion and terror descending over the quiet streets of Black Pool, Kincaid is about to uncover a trail of blood-chilling evil as he hunts a shadowy killer whose work is far from over…
