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.

约翰•康奈利 John Connolly（1968— ）

一九六八年生于爱尔兰都柏林市。经历丰富，当过记者、酒保、服务生、伦敦哈洛德百货公司的杂工、地方公务员等等。于爱尔兰三一学院就读英文系、都柏林市立大学主修新闻学，之后五年在爱尔兰时报（The Irish Times）担任自由记者。

一九九九年，康奈利以《夺面旅人》出道。此书以追查杀死妻女真凶的退休警探帕克为主角，令康奈利成为夏姆斯奖（Shamus Award）首位非美籍得奖者，奠定其“爱尔兰惊悚大师”的地位。二○○三年，以《苍白冥途》获得英国最佳犯罪小说奖Barry Award。

康奈利才华洋溢，左手写惊悚，右手跨领域、跨类型书写。二○○六年出版的首部独立作《失物之书》，内容融合童话、惊悚、成长故事、恐怖元素、寓言体例，可说是一部阴森美丽的成人童话，也为康奈利的写作生涯开启了全新篇章。另一独立作《魔鬼的名字》则为康奈利赢得“斯蒂芬•金接班人”之誉。
