It's the story "They" don't want you to read. Though, to be fair, "They" are probably right about this one. To quote the Bible, "Learning the truth can be like loosening a necktie, only to realize it was the only thing keeping your head attached." No, don't put the book back on the shelf -- it is now your duty to purchase it to prevent others from reading it. Yes, it works with e-books, too, I don't have time to explain how.
While investigating a fairly straightforward case of a shape-shifting interdimensional child predator, Dave, John, and Amy realized there might actually be something weird going on. Together, they navigate a diabolically convoluted maze of illusions, lies, and their own incompetence in an attempt to uncover a terrible truth they -- like you -- would be better off not knowing.
Your first impulse will be to think that a story this gruesome -- and, to be frank, stupid -- cannot possibly be true. That is precisely the reaction "They" are hoping for.
I really don't have it in me to be awfully ramble-y right now. Luckily, there really isn't much I can say about Pargin that I probably haven't already said before. This very well may be my favorite of the series thus far. It may be simply because it was a much needed distraction and the utter chaos of it took me away from my own utter chaos for a bit. I'm actually rather disappointed that I finished it when I did, partway through what may have been the worst attempt at a vacation ever, because the distraction is still sorely needed. So rather than try to say anything more, I'll just let Pargin do it with the intros ...
and the "teasers"

I've never read this author's books, but it sounds good and an interesting cover.
