Soon he discovers links to a church of bones in Eastern Europe, a 1944 slaughter at a French monastery, and to the myth of an object known as the Black Angel -- considered by evil men to be beyond priceless. But the Black Angel is not a legend. It is real. It lives. It dreams. And the mystery of its existence may contain the secret of Parker's own origins.<P><P> 890709 2005 The Black Angel (Charlie Parker, #5) total:413|5:9|4:10|3:5|2:4|1:0| 413 1619 586 37 3 1 false false Fri Apr 01 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Mon Sep 03 07:54:06 -0700 2007 Sat Jul 19 11:23:41 -0700 2008 Connolly, John - 5th in series

Excellent. Dark. Great buildup and excellent flow. Parker is back with Louis and Angel pushing back against an ancient evil soon to rise again. Connolly fully embraced the demonic/angelic influence in this book and left little room for interpretation.
