En Carolina del Sur, un joven negro se enfrenta a la pena de muerte acusado de haber violado y asesinado a Marianne Larousse, hija de uno de los hombres mas ricos del estado. El caso, que nadie quiere investigar, hunde sus raices en un mal que se remonta a un pasado remoto, el tipo de misterio que se ha convertido en la especialidad del detective Charlie Parker. Este ignora que esta a punto de sumergirse en una autentica pesadilla y de introducirse en un escenario tenido de sangre en el que se mezclan el espectro asesino de una mujer encapuchada, un coche negro que espera a un pasajero que nunca llega, y la complicidad tanto de amigos como de enemigos en los sucesos que rodean la muerte de Marianne Larousse. Mas que una investigacion, es un descenso a los abismos, un enfrentamiento con las fuerzas oscuras que amenazan todo aquello que Parker ama. Paralelamente, en la celda de una prision, el fanatico predicador Faulkner trama una venganza contra Charlie Parker, y para ello utilizara a los mismos hombres a los que el detective esta siguiendo, y a una extrana y contrahecha criatura que guarda sus secretos enterrados en la orilla de un rio: Cyrus Nairn. Todas estas figuras deberan enfrentarse a su cruento destino final en los pantanos del sur y los bosques del norte, escenarios muy alejados entre si pero unidos por un fragil hilo: el lugar donde convergen los caminos de los muertos y de los vivos. / In South Carolina, a young black man faces the death penalty for the rape and murder of Marianne Larousse, daughter of one of the wealthiest men in the state. It's a case that nobody wants to touch, a case with its roots in old evil, and old evil is private detective Charlie Parker's speciality. But Parker is about to make a descent into the abyss, a confrontation with dark forces that threaten all that Parker holds dear: his lover, his unborn child, even his soul... For in a prison cell, a fanatical preacher is about to take his revenge on Charlie Parker, its instruments the very men that Parker is hunting, and a strange, hunched creature that keeps its own secrets buried by a riverbank: the undiscovered killer Cyrus Nairn. Soon, all of these figures will face a final reckoning in southern swamps and northern forests, in distant locations linked by a single thread, a place where the paths of the living and the dead converge. A place known only as the White Road.
