Charlie Parker #5-8
The Charlie Parker Collection 2
Charlie Parker's latest case in THE BLACK ANGEL starts with the disappearance of a young woman in New York. His hunt turns into an epic quest and marks a dawning realisation in Parker that there is another dimension to his crusade, a dangerous dimension that affects his personal life.
In THE UNQUIET, Daniel Clay, a once-respected psychiatrist, has been missing for years following revelations about harm done to the children in his care. As Parker's investigation progresses, he finds himself trapped between those who want the truth about Daniel Clay to be revealed, and those who want it to remain hidden at all costs.
Angel and Louis take centre stage in THE REAPERS, where the elite killers themselves become targets. A wealthy recluse sends them north to a town that no longer exists on a map. There they find themselves trapped, isolated and at the mercy of a killer feared above all others: the assassin of assassins, Bliss. Thanks to Parker, help is on its way.
THE LOVERS shows Parker engaged on his most personal case yet: an investigation into his own origins and the circumstances surrounding the death of his father. Parker's quest for that explanation reveals lies, secrets and betrayal.

Great reading
I love these books, the stories are all different but with that same unreal supernatural theme which brings mystery and intrigue to the stories. I love the 3 main characters Charlie Angel and Louis. At times the stories get bogged down with the narrative about te places and history but it does add tho the background of the story and characters

There are a few writers today that really do gripping well researched storylines.
Not only do you care about the characters but also reasonate what is happening with the world today.

while the books themselves are excellent the editing of this collection is terrible. lots of words out of place and joined together.

Loved them all. Interesting, and also a different aproach to the typical investigator. A little supernatural thrown in but the more belivable kind.
