As with every other book in the Charlie Parker series, Connolly just keeps outdoing himself and proving to be a master at seamlessly walking the razors edge of horror, mystery, the supernatural and police procedural noir. Keep churning them out good sir and your growing fan base will be awaiting each new installment. Just one Charlie Parker novel a year isn't enough!
