A Game of Ghosts (Charlie Parker, #15)

by John Connolly

‘We can’t leave these people to wander the world unchallenged. They’re predators. If they can’t feed in one place, they move on and find easier prey, and they continue inflicting pain until they’re stopped. We can hide our children away, and lock our doors, and close our ears, but they’ll just go after others instead.’

Parker might even have taken the view that Lennon needed to get out of his apartment more, but when he did, an idiot shot him. He’d probably been right to spend the best part of a decade locked inside.
