E is for...........................Every Dead Thing by John Connolly.
It's the first in the Charlie Parker series and the high standard has been maintained.
Synopsis:
Tormented and racked with guilt over the brutal slaying of his wife and daughter, Charlie Parker, ex-cop with the NYPD, agrees to track down a missing girl. It is a search that will lead him into an abyss of evil. At the same time, he is warned by an old black woman in Louisiana that 'The Travelling Man' is about to strike again. Multiple strands converge with a horrific confrontation in which hunter and hunted are intimately connected by guilt.
Connolly is one of my favourite writers - this was an outstanding debut and he just keeps getting better.
