But now he’s landed in the middle of an investigation that’s a terrifying journey through a town’s fiercely protected heart of darkness. 2001 Edgar Award Finalist Praise for DEAD OF WINTER and PJ PARRISH “Stylish blend of mystery, knife-edge tension and a complex hero readers care about.” – USAToday “Tense, thrilling, and your manicurist’s best friend – you’re going to bite your nails.” – Lee Child “Full of intrigue and edge-of-the-seat suspense.” – Michael Connelly “The author’s ability to raise goose bumps puts her in the top rank of thriller writers.” – Publishers Weekly starred review

Paint It Black: A Louis Kincaid Thriller

Parrish, PJ

Publishers Weekly Book of the Year! Shamus Award finalist! "Island of Bones opens like a hurricane and blows you away through the final page. It's a major league thriller that is hard to stop reading." -- Robert B. Parker In the wake of a hurricane a tiny skull washes up in front of detective Louis Kincaid's cottage. Days later, the bullet-riddled body of a woman surfaces on a nearby island. She has no identification...except for a unique coral ring. Sensing a connection, Louis begins his investigation, a search for the truth that will lead him down a trail of secrets and lies—to the Island of Bones, where evil never dies and the living never escape. "The tension builds to a near palpable level as Kincaid uncovers secrets as dark and warped as the primal landscape. World-weary, contemplative Mel Landeta is the perfect foil for Kincaid, a true man of action. Their camaraderie, combined with Parrish's crisp dialogue and skill at stringing out the suspense, are what make this carefully constructed mystery so absorbing. Parrish's second Kincaid mystery, Dead of Winter, earned a nomination for an Edgar, and this book merits another. Anyone who has read Parrish's mysteries will undoubtedly clamor for this one." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)
