The Fury (Henry Parker, #4)

by Jason Pinter

Am I my brother's keeper?

If I'd known I had a brother, I might have been. But he's dead—shot point-blank in a rat-hole apartment, wasted by hunger and heroin. Stephen Gaines, a man with whom I shared nothing. . . except a father. For some reason this stranger who shared my blood came to me for help. . . and I blew him off thinking he was just some junkie.

Now I'm forced to question everything I ever knew. . . and figure out why this man was murdered in cold blood. All I can do for Stephen Gaines now is find his killer—and with the help of Amanda Davies uncover the whole, hard truth. If it means tracking down a vicious drug kingpin—who may or may not exist—then so be it. . . .

I didn’t realize this wasn’t the first in the Henry Parker series until after I started reading it, which is unfortunate since I actually *do* have the first book sitting in my TBR pile. Thankfully, reading the previous books is not crucial in your enjoyment of this book — you just miss out on some character development, though several previous events are alluded to. Henry’s not the easiest guy to like, but I found that I warmed up to him. He’s had an unhappy family life, so when a murder victim turns out to be a brother he never knew he had, you can understand how everything changes for him. What else has his father not told him? I thought the suspense and the mystery were pretty good, even if Henry does just stumble across many of the things he "figures out". There’s an interesting tie-in to his mentor at the end, and you can see where the next book is going. I’d read more of this series.
