About this ebook

An ancient war. A new battleground.

The border between the United States and Canada is porous. Anything can be smuggled through it, anything at all.

But when individuals linked to a group of ex-soldiers begin to die, private investigator Charlie Parker uncovers the true horror of what these men have been carrying across the border.

Now other forces have been drawn to the cargo and the evil it contains - and to combat them, Parker must seek help from one of the few beings, in this world or the next, of whom he is truly afraid . . .

Not the best charlie parker novel but still an excellent read. I suggest anyone wanting to read any of these books start at the beggining of the series with "every dead thing".

Brooding menace.These two words,for me at least,sum up the Charlie Parker series.A slight change in direction using the Iraqi war as a backdrop,this novel delivers the goods yet again. Excellent detail as always and yet another brilliant adversary in the form of Herod to add to the growing list of Charlie's enemies. No spoilers from me and as I'm reading these on sequence l really look forward to the next installment. For any lover of dark thrillers there's no one better in my opinion than John Connolly. I've yet to be disappointed in any of his books and as I decided to read them in sequence from the beginning I've had the pleasure of rereading many of them.

So this is my third time to read this. I love going back over the last few books before starting a new one. Personally, I think a book solely about The Collector wld be an interesting side story to the Charlie Parker series.
