Description
Veteran journalist Brad Parks brings his newsroom experience to his much-lauded mystery novels, with his most famous work, the Carter Ross mysteries, describing the investigations of a hard-driving but personable Newark reporter. Parks' prose is journalistic, terse yet descriptive, and tonally, it mixes utter seriousness with dark humor. It features well-developed portraits of the gritty urban landscape of Newark itself and of his quirky characters, particularly those in the newsroom, whose snappy dialogue illuminates as it entertains. The difficulties of Newark's recent history are seamlessly integrated into Parks' fictions, and often shape the action. Start with: Faces of the Gone
