About this listen

 Three hundred years ago, the settlers on the small Maine island of Sanctuary were betrayed by one of their own, and slaughtered. Now a band of killers has returned to Sanctuary to seek revenge on a young woman and her son, and the only people who stand in their way are a young rookie officer and the island's resident policeman, the troubled giant known as Melancholy Joe Dupree. But Joe Dupree is no ordinary policeman. He is the guardian of the island's secrets, the repository of its memories. He knows that Sanctuary has been steeped in violence, and that its ghosts will tolerate the shedding of innocent blood no longer. On Sanctuary, the hunters are about to become the hunted.

Critic Reviews

In the crowded killing fields of crime fiction, John Connolly has quickly and decisively established himself as a unique voice. With BAD MEN he does it again, giving us a powerful story that is dark, daring and original. This one is his best. (Michael Connelly)
Remarkably assured and atmospheric crime novel . . . each successive Connolly novel has grown in authority and skill. . . Crime, horror and the supernatural are blended in a queasy mix that often has an almost physical impact on the reader.
Connolly spins his gruesome yarn with relish.

not a Charlie Parker thriller....missed Louis and Angel....will get Dark Hollow next time. This was a freebie on a credit,....thank you . The narration was very good and persuaded me to read on a fair bit but I will struggle to finish this book...…...bring back Parker and his rogues and their touches of the supernatural. I really like Audible my eyes are not tip-top so many thanks

I love this book, I love John Connelly. Unfortunately the voice artist for this is rubbish. He does a decent job at the scene setting etc but he is dialogue is awful.

Poor performer, don't bother
