He is our best hope.
He is our last hope.
On lonely moor in the northeast of England, the body of a young woman is discovered near the site of a vanished church. In the south, a girl lies buried beneath a Saxon mound. To the southeast, the ruins of a priory hide a human skull.
Each is a sacrifice, a summons.
And something in the darkness has heard the call.
But another is coming: Parker the hunter, the avenger. From the forests of Maine to the deserts of the Mexican border, from the canals of Amsterdam to the streets of London, he will track those who would cast this world into darkness.
Parker fears no evil.
But evil fears him...

Oh, boy things got a little intense for a while there. This may just be the best Parker book yet, but I've said that about all of them at one time or another. A Book of Bones has a bigger scope than other books in the series with Parker and his cohorts travelling far and afield in their quest for vengeance and also to stop some really bad shit from happening. The events in this book are linked to several books in the series and the threads between them all come to a thoroughly satisfying conclusion. I did give a little round of applause when things come to an end. I cried a lot as well. I was left wondering what the hell Parker, Angel and Louis are going to do now. Then a final revelation about someone Parker considers an ally left the way open for another four or five books. Yay! By the way, the revelation did not surprise me in the slightest as I've suspected as much for several books now. I cannot wait to read the next one.
