Old Blood, by John Connolly

A title made hyperbaton because if we say "old blood" in Spanish, the thing is more a matter of hygiene than of any other idea. The question is why look for such an elaborate translation when the original work is called "A Book of bones."

Anyway, business decisions aside, in this seventeenth installment of Charlie Parker, your Creator, John connolly, presents us with a daring plot in the form of a mosaic, enjoying the variability of reality depending on whether the focus is more or less close. For the occasion, we are also approaching an unusually overloaded, gimmicky set, saturated with atavistic shadows.

Because sometimes evil is discovered with its ties to the past, like an old demon trying to reclaim Earth. And then every presentation of a noir plot becomes transcendent vis-à-vis the most ancestral fears, sinister beliefs and faith as salvation so as not to succumb to hell via blood temptations ... Before all that, Charlie Parker could consider that he is facing something More than a case, he could withdraw before evil sets in on him. Or, perhaps the opposite happens, that all the demons of the underworld end up dreading an encounter with the man who does not fear anything because he enjoys self-destruction.

Synopsis

On a lonely moor in northeast England, near where a church once stood, the body of a young woman has been found. In the south, a girl is buried in a Saxon mound dating from medieval times. In the southeast, the ruins of a priory hide a human skull. Each of these deaths is a sacrifice, an invocation, but who is behind these crimes is unknown.

Y something in the dark he has heard that invocation. But someone else is coming: Parker the hunter, the avenger. From the forests of Maine to the deserts of Arizona, from the canals of Amsterdam to the streets of London, Parker (with Louis, Angel and the bookseller Johnstone) will follow the trail of those who want to cast the world into darkness, in search of a very special book. Parker is not afraid of evil. Evil fears him.
