SynopsisCharlie 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.
John Connelly's Charlie "Bird" Parker in another page turner
I've become a John Connelly addict recently, reading his 1st three Charlie Parker novels - so have yet to get to THE LOVERS, but based on the first 3 - I'm sure it will be a page turning delight. Next up in my queue of novels to read as I play catch up with all of Connelly's work.
