About the book
Private detective Charlie Parker, still recovering from his life-threatening wounds, delves into a case with roots in a Nazi concentration camp during World War II in this heart-pounding thrill ride, as described by Suspense Magazine.
Seeking solace and strength, Parker finds himself in the quiet Maine town of Boreas. There, he forms a bond with a secretive widow named Ruth Winter and her daughter, Amanda. Unbeknownst to Parker, Ruth harbors dark secrets. As long-buried atrocities resurface, ruthless individuals will stop at nothing to keep their past sins hidden. Now, Parker must put his life on the line to protect a woman he barely knows - a woman who views him with apprehension, much like she does her imminent pursuers.
His adversaries perceive him as weak, filled with dread, and isolated.
Yet they underestimate him. Parker is not easily frightened, nor is he without allies.
From the depths of darkness, something is emerging...
