Critics Review
One of the most distinguished practitioners of US crime-writing. The book synthesises literate, poetic writing with scarifying grue. - Independent
Connolly has honed the private eye’s instincts into a sensibility of palpable evil that makes a strong core to this intelligent thriller. An assured, sophisticated tale … exciting but bittersweet. - The TimesWhat makes Parker intriguing is precisely that, though a crusader against evil, he has a dark side: he is haunted by the past, his capacity for violence and guilt. - Telegraph Magazine… his imagination is undeniably fertile … a powerful piece of American gothic with an arresting double ending.’ - The Sunday TimesOne of the fastest-paced and most complex thrillers … A cracking read from an excellent and highly original writer… pacy, blackly humorous and with a nasty edge. - Sunday Independent, DublinDark, menacing, yet at times almost poetic, The White Road enthrals … literate, yet fast-paced - Cambridgeshire Journal‘A wonderfully written literary work … A must read for Parker fans, and fans of well written prose. - Deadly PleasuresConsummate crime writing and chilling suspense - Crime FileAbout The Author
