In the fifth Charlie Parker novel, the private investigator, recently remarried (after the murders of his wife and child), has been trying to pull his life back together. But when his partner’s cousin goes missing, Parker can’t avoid getting back in the game. And when he realizes the young woman’s disappearance is connected to an older, darker mystery, he once again is forced to risk life and sanity in a desperate good-versus-evil battle. Connolly, who resides in Ireland but writes about the U.S. like he’s lived there all his life, once again blends the -private-eye novel and the supernatural thriller in a way that’s altogether unique. Parker himself, one of the genre’s more disturbed heroes, is a complex creation whose depths have still, even through five novels, been barely explored. The Charlie Parker novels are not for everyone (especially those who like their private-eye yarns unencumbered by philosophical or theological overtones).

 

In this book, we get to know a bit about one of the hit men as the search is on for a lost relative.  Great writing as always.  5 stars
