The Black Angel - John Connolly
               Series

This is the 5th in the Charlie Parker series.   My daughter, Melissa,  and I have been reading this series off and on.   I have decided to jump in and make it my new series  on our TBR..  Having said that,  I have to say that this was not a favorite.

This one was much darker than the previous books.  Charlie is dealing with evil spirits from Hell.  While trying to help Louis find his missing niece,  Charlie stumbles across a society that believes in demonic mythology.

There are some historical fat about ossuaries in Europe that are built out of human bones.   Check out Sedlac Ossuary in the Czech Republic.   Creepy!!!

From Goodreads:
  When a young woman disappears from the streets of New York City, ties of friendship and blood inevitably draw ingenious, tortured detective Charlie Parker into the search. 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.
