When Charlie Parker was still a boy, his father, a NYPD cop, killed a young couple, a boy and a girl barely older than his son, then took his own life. There was no explanation for his actions. Stripped of his private investigator's license, and watched by the police, Parker is working in a Portland bar, holding down a job and staying out of trouble. But in the background, he is working on his most personal case yet, an investigation into his own origins and the circumstances surrounding the death of his father, Will. It is an investigation that will reveal a life haunted by lies, by his mother's loss and his father's betrayal, by secrets kept and loyalties compromised. And by two figures in the shadows, a man and a woman, with only one purpose: to bring an end to Charlie Parker's existence . . .

It's been a while since I visited the world of Charlie Parker and I am now wondering why I left it two years as I immersed myself back into the world in which gritty crime merges with supernatural horror. In this one we learn more about Charlie's origins and the story of his father. It leaves threads open for futures books and I can't wait to read onwards.

Last book finished for my Dec. board.

This book gives backstory on Charlie Parker's life before he lost his wife and child. It helps explain some of his character and adds insight to some of the supernatural/darkness that surrounds Parker.

I'm excited to see where the next book goes in this series.

TheSpineView Way to go! 4y

Excellent as always. Loved that it provided a lot of the background info on Charlie‘s early years. Great series 👍🏻

JanuarieTimewalker13 Can you read this one first? Or do they have to be read in publication order? 5y
TrishB @JanuarieTimewalker13 I think these definitely need to be read in order, there is so much personal and back story in them. 5y
JanuarieTimewalker13 Ok, thank you!! 5y
Cathythoughts Nice review ! I must get back to this series .... one of these days. 5y

TrishB @erzascarletbookgasm @Leftcoastzen @Balibee146 @BarbaraBB @Cathythoughts it was absolutely amazing, best one in a good few years. Leeds 02 Academy a cracking venue, unlike Liverpool 02 Academy which is dire! 5y

'The Lovers' which is a dark Charlie Parker book, framed romantically by my star-crossed lovers, the predators. I enjoyed this very much. Supernatural and dark, with hints of mysticism

Between.the.lines Love this pic :) 7y
