John Connolly was born May 31, 1968 in Dublin and  is best known for his series of novels starring private detective Charlie Parker. His first novel, Every Dead Thing, was met with critical acclaim; it was nominated for the Bram Stoker Award for Best First Novel and went on to win the 2000 Shamus Award for Best First Private Eye Novel.  Although Connolly’s novels fall under the crime genre, his stories have become increasingly tinged with supernatural overtones. In  ‘The Black Angel’  Parker is haunted by the ghosts of his murdered wife and daughter.
