Dalam seri Charlie Parker buku ke-20 ini, ada dua cerita berjudul The Sister Strange & The Furies. Parker muncul bersama duo Angel & Louis di cerita pertama. Kedua cerita tidak saling berhubungan, namun ada venue penginapan yang sama di kedua cerita.
Pada cerita pertama, residivis Raum Buker tiba di Portland, yang diikuti dengan kehebohan pencurian koin kuno, yang mengandung kekuatan supranatural. Hal ini mengancam bukan hanya nyawa Raum, tapi juga nyawa Strange bersaudari, yang merupakan kekasih-kekasih Raum.
Adalah Parker, diminta oleh kekasih salah satu saudari Strange, untuk melindungi mereka dari ancaman atas nyawa mereka, seiring dengan penguncian Portland karena merebaknya pandemi. Tanpa diketahui Parker, dua bersaudari Strange ternyata lebih dari mampu untuk melindungi diri mereka sendiri.
Cerita kedua berjudul The Furies, Parker menerima kasus dari Sarah Abelli yang mendiang suaminya punya kaitan dengan semacam mafia. Akibat pengkhiatan suaminya, anak mereka, terbunuh. Sarah dicurigai masih menyimpan uang yang dicuri mendiang suaminya.
Bagian paling menarik dari seri Charlie Parker buatku adalah duo Louis & Angel. Dinamika Parker & duo maut ini selalu menimbulkan dark humor.
The 20th book in the Charlie Parker series is actually two short novels, The Sisters Strange and The Furies.
Both are highly enjoyable, and all my favourite characters were present, including the Fulcies, because, let's face it, we all need a little Tony and Paulie in our lives.
