In Maine, Colleen Clark stands accused of the worst crime a mother can commit: the abduction and possible murder of her child. Everyone - ambitious politicians in an election season, hardened police, ordinary folk - has an opinion on the case, and most believe she is guilty. But most is not all.

Defending Colleen is the lawyer Moxie Castin, and working alongside him is the private investigator Charlie Parker, who senses the tale has another twist, one involving a husband too eager to accept his wife's guilt, a disgraced psychic seeking redemption, and an old crooked house deep in the Maine woods, a house that should never have been built. A house, and what dwells beneath.

A child missing. A mother accused. Charlie Parker is their only hope.
There's no mistaking a John Connolly novel, with its singular characters, eerie subject matter and socko style - The New York Times

Connolly at his best: a twisty, creepy tale of a terrible crime and a woman who may be innocent - Daily Mail

As Connolly brings these strands together in a dramatic conclusion, the story remains grounded in its characters, even the most minor of whom are vividly and empathetically drawn. That abiding empathy has long been Parker's DNA, a quality that is only become more central as he's aged, and it helps make The Instruments of Darkness a moving entry in this remarkable series. - Irish Times
