This is now the fifth straight book I've read in the Parker series and I'm enjoying these books immensely. I'll probably take a break from the series now (since I don't have book 9) but I'm sure I will continue with them in the near future.

This one has Charlie working in a bar in Maine after losing his PI license. He then decides to try to find out what really happened when his father, who was a police officer, seemed to have killed two young teenagers, a boy and a girl, who were unarmed. His father then killed himself shortly thereafter leaving young Charlie with his mother who decides to move them to Maine to live with Charlie's grandfather. The trail to finding out what exactly happened leads Charlie to his father's former partner and another former police officer. It appears that some unknown entities are after Charlie but for what reason and will they be able to be stopped?

This was really another suspenseful outing in the series which delved deep into Charlie's background and some of the reasons for the supernatural encounters that he has had along the way. Charlie's protectors Angel and Louis only make a brief appearance in this one but the storyline was still very compelling and I'll be looking forward to reading the rest of the series...I think I have 12 more to go. Should keep me occupied for some time!
