The lovers : a Charlie Parker thriller
(Book)

Includes an excerpt from A song of shadows.

The fictitious character in this novel, Charlie "Bird" Parker, is not the same as the real Charlie "Bird" Parker the famous jazz musician.

Stripped of his private investigator's license, Charlie Parker takes a job tending bar in Portland, Maine. Alone and directionless, he faces at last a shadow he has lived with since his childhood: what made his father, a respected police officer, apparently shoot dead two unarmed teens and then commit suicide. His quest leads him back to the little New York town where he grew up, to the secret history of the NYPD, and to the existence of mysterious friends and hidden enemies. For waiting in the shadows, as they have been throughout Charlie's life, are a man and a woman with only one purpose: to bring an end to his very existence.
