Why a Booktrail?
2000s: Parker fears no evil. But evil fears him . . .
A Book of Bones (Charlie Parker 17)
What you need to know before your trail
On a lonely moor in the northeast of England, the body of a young woman is discovered near the site of a vanished church. In the south, a girl lies buried beneath a Saxon mound. To the southeast, the ruins of a priory hide a human skull.
Each is a sacrifice, a summons.
And something in the shadows has heard the call.
But another is coming: Parker the hunter, the avenger. Parker’s mission takes him from Maine to the deserts of the Mexican border; from the canals of Amsterdam to the streets of London – he will track those who would cast this world into darkness.
Parker fears no evil.
But evil fears him . . .
Travel Guide
Travel with Charlie Parker from Arizona, Mexico and London…
From a junkyard in Arizona across the Mexican border and then across to London in search of answers and The Fractured Atlas. You should read The Woman in the Woods before reading this as the puzzle will make more sense.
The Fractured Atlas is an otherworldly, very special and unique book of supernatural powers. It seems to radiate darkness and a poison that seeps into the skin and bones of those who come into contact with it. Careful those who see it, find it and touch it.
Parker had never come to terms with Arizona. He did not have the desert gene, and Phoenix Sky Harbour was one of his least favourite airports, even by the low standards of Brutalist architecture.”
Gila Bend
Parker travels west on the I-85 south towards Gila Bend where the body is found.
Mexico and the Mexican desert
This is the Mexico of drug cartels and crime. “This whole territory belongs to the Sinaloa cartel, and nothing moves in or out without their knowledge.”
London and Hexham..
This is where things get really scary and exciting and we are plunged into the world of te occult like never before. This is the home of Dunwidge and Daughter, an antiquarian booksellers which deals in occult volumes…
It’s owner Cardwell Dunwidge was a strange one and did things differently. Other booksellers of days gone by, kept him and the shop at arms length….
Then there’s the stone circles on the Hexhamshire Moors…(fictional in name only…)
Amsterdam
Chapters with a certain Cornelie take place and what a location for a story of twisty darkness. Those canals lend themselves well to the story at large..
