This is the 9th in the Charlie Parker series.  I enjoy Charlie and his cases but I do not always enjoy his dealings with the dark spirits of the netherworld .   Anyway.......

Charlie is hired to keep an eye on a guy who may be hurting his girlfriend and other suspicious things about him.  There have also been several suicides of the local veterans that just don't add up.  

Mr. Connolly touches on PTSD, antiquities, smuggling, and of course the dark entities from the netherworld.  Oh,  and The Collector stops in for a visit.  He is a nemesis from previous books. 

Goodreads:

""'Oh, little one, ' he whispered, as he gently stroked her cheek, the first time he had touched her in fifteen years. 'What have they done to you? What have they done to us all?' ""In his latest dark and chilling Charlie Parker thriller, New York Times bestselling author John Connolly takes us to the border between Maine and Canada. It is there, in the vast and porous Great North Woods, that a dangerous smuggling operation is taking place, run by a group of disenchanted former soldiers, newly returned from Iraq. Illicit goods--drugs, cash, weapons, even people--are changing hands. And something else has changed hands. Something ancient and powerful and evil.
