The Children of Eve by John Connelly
I love the Charlie Parker books but I'm thinking the series might be running out of gas or Connelly is just tired of writing him. In this book barely appears and when he does, he has no baring on the story. The main thrust of the book is one drug lord in Virginia stole something from another drug lord in Mexico and now the Mexican Drug Lord is sending a killer to get his stuff back and kill everyone involved.
The is the usual supernatural stuff with Parker's daughter but that seems to be going nowhere or didn't have a payoff in this story. And the denouement was particularly dull.
I hope for better in the next installment.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
