Summary

There is no hope of death for these souls . . .

In South Carolina, a young black man faces the death penalty for the rape and murder of Marianne Larousse, daughter of one of the wealthiest men in the state. But this case runs deeper, into the dark history of the American South.

Investigating the mystery, Charlie Parker is suffocated by its dark spectres: a murderous hooded woman, an anonymous black car, and an old enemy sitting in a cold prison cell plotting his revenge.

These threads will converge, on the burial mound of lost souls. On the path where the living and the dead intersect.

On the White Road . . .

Critic reviews

Connolly has honed the private eye's instincts into a sensibility of palpable evil that makes a strong core to this intelligent thriller.
One of the fastest-paced and most complex thrillers . . . A cracking read from an excellent and highly original writer.
A powerful piece of American gothic with an arresting double ending.

I have always enjoyed this story however the incorrectly pronounced name and the wrong voices of the other narrator put me off. I was over the moon to find Jeff Harding has re-recorded this book. thank you
