Amazon.com reviews:

"It is 1997, and someone is slaughtering young women in Burdon County, Arkansas. But no one in the Dirty South wants to admit it. In an Arkansas jail cell sits a former NYPD detective, stricken by grief. He is mourning the death of his wife and child, and searching in vain for their killer. Obsessed with avenging his lost family, his life is about to take a shocking turn. Witness the dawning of a conscience. Witness the birth of a hunter. Witness the becoming of Charlie Parker."

*FIVE STARS!! I love this series but it's not just because the stories are exciting or that former NYPD Detective Charlie Parker is such an intriguing character. It's also because the author's writing is eloquent, elegant and an all-around joy to read. The books are impossible to skim through and finish in my usual couple of days. Simply put, there's just too much to be missed by doing that."
