    Charlie Parker Series: Sporco sud. Una nuova indagine per Charlie Parker
    L'angelo delle ossa
    Tutto ciò che muore
    I tre demoni
    L'angelo delle ossa
    • Il passato è in attesa dell'investigatore privato Charlie Parker. Il presente ha la forma di una ragazza, giovane, bella e scomparsa misteriosamente. Una ragazza sola. O almeno questo è ciò che crede il suo rapitore. Ma si sbaglia di grosso: la ragazza è la cugina di Louis, l'ombra di Parker, il suo braccio destro. Più l'indagine si avvicina alla verità e più i due amici scoprono che la pista che stanno seguendo è lastricata di ossa, pergamene e antichi miti biblici. La loro ricerca li porta a spaziare dagli squallidi vicoli newyorchesi, a un'antica abbazia della Boemia che conserva le tracce di un sanguinoso massacro medievale, e infine in Francia, nei luoghi che furono teatro di altri drammatici eventi accaduti nel corso dellà Seconda guerra mondiale. La chiave del mistero sembra celata nei frammenti di una vecchia pergamena che parla di una statua d'argento: l'Angelo nero, l'angelo ribelle bandito da Dio e caduto sulla Terra, un simbolo misterioso e fortemente ricercato anche della setta dei Credenti. Chi sono? Sembrano spietati e pronti a tutto pur di ritrovarlo. Agiscono nell'ombra, seminando morte e orrore: angeli caduti che non trovano pace. Il mito diventa realtà.

      L'angelo delle ossa
    • The Number One bestseller. It is spring, and the semi-preserved body of a young Jewish woman is discovered buried in the Maine woods. It is clear that she gave birth shortly before her death. But there is no sign of a baby. Private detective Charlie Parker is engaged by the lawyer Moxie Castin to shadow the police investigation and find the infant, but Parker is not the only searcher. Someone else is following the trail left by the woman, someone with an interest in more than a missing child, someone prepared to leave bodies in his wake. And in a house by the woods, a toy telephone begins to ring. For a young boy is about to receive a call from a dead woman . . .

      The Woman in the Woods
    • Grievously wounded private detective Charlie Parker investigates a case that has its origins in a Nazi concentration camp during the Second World War. Broken, but undeterred, private detective Charlie Parker faces the darkest of dark forces in a case with its roots in the second world war, and a concentration camp unlike any other . . . Recovering from a near-fatal shooting and tormented by memories of a world beyond this one, Parker has retreated to the small Maine town of Boreas to recover. There he befriends a widow named Ruth Winter and her young daughter, Amanda. But Ruth has her secrets. She is hiding from the past, and the forces that threaten her have their origins in the Second World War, in a town called Lubko and a concentration camp unlike any other. Old atrocities are about to be unearthed, and old sinners will kill to hide their sins. Now Parker is about to risk his life to defend a woman he barely knows, one who fears him almost as much as she fears those who are coming for her. His enemies believe him to be vulnerable. Fearful. Solitary. But they are wrong. Parker is far from afraid, and far from alone. For something is emerging from the shadows . . .
