Harlan Coben characterized John Connolly's works as "darkly brilliant, spellbinding, and disturbing," a description that will linger in the air for readers of this redolent Charlie Parker thriller. In The Unquiet, Parker has been hired by the daughter of a missing shrink whose reputation has recently been tainted by dire allegations of child abuse. Now stalked by a predator, the daughter obviously needs protection, but Parker can't ignore the maelstrom of betrayal and slimy secrets rumbling beneath the surface.
