Publisher's summary

This book was named one of the Best Books of the Year by The Strand and was an Indie Next Selection.

Henry Parker left his old life behind years ago - a broken home and shattered lives are little more than a bad memory. Since then he has forged a great career, saved lives, revealed monsters in our midst, and fallen in love with a wonderful woman. But all that comes crashing down when Henry learns that his old life isn't through with him yet. Not by a long shot . . .

When a man named Stephen Gaines is found dead, shot point-blank in a rat-hole apartment, wasted by hunger and heroin, Henry sadly assumed he was the victim of another drug deal gone bad. But when the man is identified as Stephen Gaines, Henry learns they not only share a city . . . but a father.

Now Henry must investigate the most personal story of his career - that of the brother he never knew, and the tragic and violent end to his life. Because for some reason Stephen had tried to enlist Henry's help. And as Henry begins to dig into Stephen's past, and his own, what he finds is more chilling than anything he's ever faced before. Because Stephen knew that something terrible was coming to the city. He died before he could stop it. And now it's Henry's turn . . .

One of Jason Pinter's best!!

The Fury is book four in the Henry Parker series. This book is personal for Henry. A junkie approaches him and seeing what the man looks like, he brushes him off. Later the police come to Henry's apartment asking what he knew about this man because he happens to be his half brother.
When Henry goes to Oregon to asks his father about it, he's told that the mother was supposed to get rid of it. Later Henry's father is arrested for the murder. Seems he had been to NYC and his finger prints somehow ended up on the gun that killed his son.
Henry begins a dangerous investigation with many twists that take you on a fast paced journey through the drug trade. When Henry steals a briefcase from a suspected dealer the man is later found executed the same way his brother was.
This is an edge of your seat
kind of story.
Although each book is a stand alone I would suggest listening to them in order.
Adam Verner does an excellent job narrating.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Disappointing...

I have read the first few of Pinter’s Henry Parker novels when first published. So, I was seriously anticipating this release.

Sadly, I found it substandard. The emotions are unrealistic and the dialog discordant. There are gaps in logic and unearned conclusions. Just not worth my time to finish it.
