About A Song of Shadows by John Connolly

Recovering from a near-fatal shooting, private detective Charlie Parker retreats to the Maine town of Boreas. There he befriends Ruth Winter and her daughter, Amanda, but Ruth is hiding from people whose history reaches back to the Second World War and a concentration camp in Lubko.

As old crimes come to light and their perpetrators try to keep them buried, Parker risks his life to protect Ruth. The mystery combines crime and thriller elements with supernatural unease, making it a fit for readers who enjoy detective fiction shaped by a disturbing past.
