March 1997. A woman has her throat cut behind a bar in Carter Crossing, Mississippi. Just down the road is a big army base. Is the murderer a local guy - or is he a soldier?

Jack Reacher, still a major in the military police, is sent in undercover. The county sheriff is a former US Marine - and a stunningly beautiful woman. Her investigation is going nowhere. Is the Pentagon stonewalling her? Or doesn't she really want to find the killer?

The adrenaline-pumping, high-voltage action in The Affair is set just six months before the opening of Killing Floor, and it marks a turning point in Reacher's career. If he does what the army wants, will he be able to live with himself? And if he doesn't, will the army be able to live with him? Is this his last case in uniform?

John Connolly takes readers into the dark and mysterious world of private detective Charlie Parker. When the daughter of a South Carolina millionaire is brutally raped and murdered, a young black man faces the death penalty for the crime. It's a case steeped in old evil, and old evil is Parker's specialty.

Parker is drawn into a living nightmare, a chilling dreamscape haunted by the specter of a hooded woman and a black car waiting for a passenger that never arrives. This is not just an investigation; it's a descent into an abyss where dark forces threaten all that Parker holds dear: his lover, his unborn child, and even his soul.

In a prison cell far to the north, an old adversary plots revenge, utilizing the very men Parker is hunting and a strange, hunched creature with its own secrets buried by a riverbank. This undiscovered killer, Cyrus Nairn, adds to the growing tension.

Soon, all these figures will face a final reckoning in the southern swamps and northern forests—distant locations linked by a single thread, a place where the paths of the living and the dead converge. This place is known only as The White Road.
