Book description
When Charlie Parker was still a boy, his father, a NYPD cop, killed a
young couple, a boy and a girl barely older than his son, then took
his own life. There was no explanation for his actions.
Stripped of his private investigator's license, and watched by the
police, Parker is working in a Portland bar, holding down a job and
staying out of trouble. But in the background, he is working on his
most personal case yet, an investigation into his own origins and the
circumstances surrounding the death of his father, Will.
It is an investigation that will reveal a life haunted by lies, by
his mother's loss and his father's betrayal, by secrets kept and
loyalties compromised.
And by two figures in the shadows, a man and a woman, with only one
purpose: to bring an end to Charlie Parker's existence.
