The Dirty South

It is 1997, and someone is slaughtering young black women in Burdon County, Arkansas. But no one wants to admit it.
In this installment the author take us back in 1997, it was only months after the death of his wife and child, and searching for their killer, Parker found himself in Cargill, Bourdon City, Arkansas. He cares only for his own lost family.
With the William Jefferson Clinton Era–native of Arkansas won the presidency–Cargill was changing. Prosperity was on the way. It had been promised, and populace had elected to believe that promise. Any bad publicity would destroy that promise. Three dying young black women definitely would cause bad publicity.
Parked ended up involved and help the Cargill PD to solve the case.
This is a flash back but I find it still enjoyable to read. But it's Charlie Parker and I'm bias.

The prequel to Every Dead Thing, the first book in the Charlie Parker series. Like all of the books in the series, The Dirty South was compulsive reading and a great insight into the making of Charlie Parker. John Connolly crafts a wonderful story. Fans had to wait a little longer than usual for this book but it was well worth the wait.
