Connolly, John: The Whisperers

A Charlie Parker thriller finds him involved with a group of ex-soldiers running a smuggling operation between Maine and Canada.   They also have antique artefacts that they stole while in Iraq
some of which are central to this story.   Parker is hired to investigate an apparent suicide of one of
the soldiers returned from Iraq and he discovers that his subject is not the only one to have died.   He
is discovered by the gang while investigating a disused house and comes close to death as a result but, understandably in the overall context, he manages to get away and discovers that he is definitely
dealing with something more than human.   Reluctantly allying with The Collector whose path he has
crossed more than once previously, he is able to bring matters to a conclusion of sorts.   Well up to
the standard expect of John Connolly, this one has rather more of a supernatural element to go with
the more usual activity.
