Every Dead Thing
Author: John Connolly
 
Haunted by the unsolved slayings of his wife and young daughter, and tormented by his sense of guilt, former New York City detective Charlie 'Bird' Parker is a man consumed by violence, regret and the desire for revenge.
Then Bird's ex-partner asks him to track down a missing girl and Bird embarks on an odyssey that is to lead him into the bowels of organised crime; to an old black woman who dwells by the Louisiana swamps; to cellars of torture and death; and to a serial killer unlike any other, an artist who uses the human body as his canvas and takes faces as his prize, a killer known only as The Travelling Man.
 
Another of the BOOKBUGS' favourite authors, Every Dead Things is the first of the epic and chilling Charlie Parker novels. Very much a recommended read and author.
