Another great Charlie Parker mystery.  I couldn’t put it down.  Charlie is recovering from his injuries in Boreas, Maine, where he is drawn into an old conspiracy to hide Nazi war criminals when a body washes up onto the beach and his neighbor is murdered. Charlie’s daughter, Sam, is very special and appears to be more than touched by the supernatural. Charlie decides to start working on the List and is going to be an FBI consultant for Agent Ross. Ross and Rabbi Epstein were waiting for Charlie to decide to join them in their quest to root out those corrupted by the Fallen and the Backers.
