Alex Callahan, a seasoned television news correspondent, has witnessed the horrors of famine, plague, and war, but nothing prepares him for the terror he faces on a peaceful summer day when he becomes entangled in darkness. While spending rare quality time with his six-year-old twin sons at a Renaissance Fair, they suddenly vanish. A chilling phone call from one of the boys plunges Alex into a nightmare, igniting a frantic search.

With a twisted mission that hints at dark rituals, The Piper is a monster unlike any other. Alex is determined to confront this fiend and rescue his sons from an unspeakable fate.

CRIME & MYSTERY. A decade after NOCTURNES first terrified and delighted readers, John Connolly, bestselling author of the acclaimed Charlie Parker thrillers, gives us a second volume of tales of the supernatural. From stories of the monstrous for dark winter nights to fables of fantastic libraries and haunted books, from a tender narrative of love after death to a frank, personal and revealing account of the author's affection for myths of ghosts and demons, this is a collection that will surprise, delight - and terrify. NIGHT MUSIC: NOCTURNES 2 is a masterly collection to be read with the lights on - menace has never been so seductive.
