- Book Synopsis
- He that loves not, abides in death In New York, a policeman pulls a gun on two unarmed teenagers and shoots them dead. He then takes his own life, but not before delivering a warning to his wife, the mother of their young son: They are coming. Decades later, that son has grown up to be the private detective, Charlie Parker. Haunted by loss, he seeks to uncover the truth about his past, about his father's crimes, and about them. But Parker is being followed: by an unscrupulous journalist, committed to exposing his dark secrets; by a young woman, fearful for her life after her boyfriend's murder; and by a deadly couple who have been hunting Parker for longer than he knows, with one aim in mind: to bring an end to his existence . . . 'Best read by torchlight in a broken-down car, right at the end of a forest track. During a storm' Herald 'Tremendous stuff' Independent on Sunday
