New Novel Set on Peaks Island

Irish writer John Connolly (most famous for his Charlie Parker detective novels) has just released Bad Men, set on 'Dutch Island' (aka 'Sanctuary') Maine. Bad Men features a cameo by Parker.

According to Connolly, "While researching Bad Men, my new book, I spent some time out on Peaks Island, which lies in Casco Bay, just east of Portland, Maine. I wanted to set Bad Men in an enclosed, isolated community, and an island seemed like the best bet, but I had no idea just how much material Peaks would yield"

I ordered the book today, and will post a review after I have a chance read it.
