This is definitely one of the darkest books in the series, Charlie Parker decides to find out why his father killed two teenagers and then killed himself when Charlie was a child. Very bad things happen as a result. A lot more supernatural than the previous books in the series. This is a scary, and very well told story. ( ) Charlie has lost his PI licence and is working as a Bar manager but his life is still complicated by the wierd (and I apparently missed a book). He decides to look into his past and his father's apparent suicide after killing two teens. There's also a journalist looking into his story. There is also something hunting Charlie, what he discovers during this story will change his life. It's interesting to see Charlie looking into his own problems for a change and it looks like his bumps into the supernatural are going to get more complex. There appear to be reasons why he's being haunted by the supernatural and no-one knows why. no reviews | add a review

Charlie Parker is a lost soul. Deprived of his private investigator's license and under scrutiny by the police, Parker takes a job in a Portland bar. But he uses his enforced retirement to begin a different kind of investigation: an examination of his own past and an inquiry into the death of his father, who took his own life after apparently shooting dead two unarmed teenagers. It's a search that will eventually lead Parker to question all that he believed about his beloved parents, and about himself. But there are other forces at work: a troubled young woman who is running from an unseen threat, one that has already taken the life of her boyfriend; and a journalist-turned-writer named Mickey Wallace, who is conducting an investigation of his own. And haunting the shadows, as they have done throughout Parker's life, are two figures: a man and a woman who seem driven to bring an end to Charlie Parker's existence. Haunting, lyrical, and impossible to put down, The Lovers is John Connolly at his best. No library descriptions found.
