La comunidad residencial de Prosperous, en Maine, siempre ha medrado mientras otros sufrían. Sus habitantes son ricos, sus hijos tienen el futuro asegurado. Rehúye a los forasteros. Protege a los suyos. Y en el centro de Prosperous se encuentran las ruinas de una antigua iglesia, transportada piedra a piedra desde Northumberland, Inglaterra, a principios del siglo XVIII, por los fundadores del pueblo… Unas ruinas que esconden un secreto.
Pero varios hechos, entre ellos la muerte de un sin techo en circunstancias poco claras, atraen a Prosperous al investigador privado Charlie Parker, alias «Bird», un hombre cuyo pasado le ha dejado hondas cicatrices en el alma, un detective peligroso para sus enemigos y que se mueve no sólo llevado por la compasión, sino también —en más ocasiones de las que él quisiera— por la ira y el deseo de venganza.
A su llegada, los residentes de Prosperous perciben en él una amenaza más preocupante que cualquier otra que hayan afrontado en su larga historia. Entretanto, un lobo trata de sobrevivir al crudo invierno de los bosques de Maine; está malherido, pero también hambriento.

Work Description
The next pulse-pounding thriller in John Connolly's internationally bestselling Charlie Parker series.
The community of Prosperous, Maine has always thrived when others have suffered. Its inhabitants are wealthy, its children’s future secure. It shuns outsiders. It guards its own. And at the heart of Prosperous lie the ruins of an ancient church, transported stone by stone from England centuries earlier by the founders of the town…
But the death of a homeless man and the disappearance of his daughter draw the haunted, lethal private investigator Charlie Parker to Prosperous. Parker is a dangerous man, driven by compassion, by rage, and by the desire for vengeance. In him the town and its protectors sense a threat graver than any they have faced in their long history, and in the comfortable, sheltered inhabitants of a small Maine town, Parker will encounter his most vicious opponents yet.
Charlie Parker has been marked to die so that Prosperous may survive.
Prosperous, and the secret that it hides beneath its ruins…
