Hooray! Charlie Parker is back! This is something like number eight in the Parker series and I
cannot wait for numbers nine, ten, eleven...
The Parker books read with an authentic American tone; this could be any of the "C"s (Crais, Coben, Michael Connelly) but instead the author is Irish, and perhaps that's where the mystical undercurrent comes from. Sometime almost dead-straight private-eye/thrillers, every now and again Connolly delves into Parker's unusual spiritual situation. There's something more going on here than good versus evil on a mundane level.
It shouldn't work. It does work. That's the genius of John Connolly.
Oh, and do try his "Book of Lost Things", a wonderful fantasy novel.
