The Furies: Private Investigator Charlie Parker looks evil in the eye in the globally bestselling series (Charlie Parker Thriller)

Product Information

A second plot line involving the theft of some coins following a murder in Athens, Pennsylvania, is connected to Buker and his cellmate.

I have read 5 of the books in the series and do think that they can be read as stand-alone books as well. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. This book is old school Connolly I did like the Nameless Ones but this is straight forward Parker, Maine, and unsavory scary bad guys. Meanwhile, Lyle Pantuff and Gilman Veale stay at Braycott Arms, a “shithole” hotel suitable for their ilk. The Furies, John Connolly’s latest novel, is actually two short novels: the titled novel and The Sisters Strange.It introduced the character of Charlie Parker, a former policeman hunting the killer of his wife and daughter.

The Gates launched the Samuel Johnson series for younger readers in 2009, followed by Hell's Bells (UK)/The Infernals (US) in 2011. We are—well, ask Bigfoot, as Brooks does in this delightful yarn, following on his bestseller World War Z (2006).Revolving around the theft of ancient coins, one of which has supernatural powers, Parker is pulled into the investigation by a person concerned about the sisters Strange: Dolors and Ambar. This one is actually two short books and both of them concentrate more on Parker's investigative efforts, with only a small amount of the occult.

And two sadistic thieves are killed by a ghost of a girl, who died in an accident totaly unrelated to anything.It had been a while since I read one of John Connolly’s Charlie Parker series, so when I spotted this book I bought it on a whim. Another thing about the Sisters Strange - it doesn't necessarily follow a typical 'arc' in that you read and read and then there's a BIG SCENE where everything comes to a head or climax with a slow, explanatory denouement after.
