What you need to know before your trail

Did Grace Peltier commit suicide? When a mass grave in northern Maine reveals the final resting place of a religious community that disappeared almost forty years earlier, private detective Charlie Parker, hired to investigate the circumstances of her death, realises that their deaths and the violent passing of Grace Peltier are part of the same mystery, one that has its roots in her family history and in the origins of the shadowy organisation known as the Fellowship. Aided by the genial killers Angel and Louis, Parker must descend into the depths of a honeycomb world populated by dark angels and lost souls, a world where the ghosts of the dead wait for justice and the unwary are prey for the worst kind of creatures.

The killing kind. . .

Travel Guide

Travel BookTrail style to the woods and lakes of Charlie Parker’s Maine

This book is inspired by real facts – and that’s the scary part. In 1846 – 7, a group of travellers and settlers known as The Donner Party set out into the unknown on an adventure of a lifetime. They would trek miles through the most remote landscape in the USA. However, one wrong turn and a few bad decisions meant that the adventure soon became a nightmare.

In this book, Parker is intrigued by the mysterious disappearance of the Aroostook Baptists, a religious community that disappeared in the dark forests of Maine forty years earlier. Arootook country is one made up of fields and lakes where all kind of darkness can happen.

Oh and if you head down to the Maine woods – be careful of the man they call Mr Pudd. A childish name perhaps, but one that will haunt your dreams as an adult…
