Charlie Parker is a lost soul. Deprived of his private investigators license and under scrutiny by the police  Parker takes a job in a Portland bar. But he uses his enforced retirement to begin a different kind of investigation: an examination of his own past and an inquiry into the death of his father  who took his own life after apparently shooting dead two unarmed teenagers. Its a search that will eventually lead Parker to question all that he believed about his beloved parents  and about himself.  But there are other forces at work: a troubled young woman who is running from an unseen threat  one that has already taken the life of her boyfriend; and a journalist-turned-writer named Mickey Wallace  who is conducting an investigation of his own. And haunting the shadows  as they have done throughout Parkers life  are two figures: a man and a woman who seem driven to bring an end to Charlie Parkers existence.  Haunting  lyrical  and impossible to put down  The Lovers is John Connolly at his best.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44944944988213,"sku":"ByrdShop_1416569553","price":60.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781416569558_557b11f8-8d58-4183-a416-eff89474d4b5.jpg?v=1770299276","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-lovers-a-charlie-parker-thriller-8","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
