Parker continues his signature stylings that have made him a must read author in the suspense thriller genre. Believe me, if you are not a fan already, Parker deserves your attention. His work is so naturally fluid that the reader never stops to think about plot, characterization, or pacing until the novel is over... the reader just flows with the story until suddenly realizing it is over.

"The Renegades" has a more convoluted plot than some of Parker's work and it is told through two separate POV's in alternating chapters; yet, this device just helps fill in the back story as the plot unfolds. Charlie Hood lost something internally when Allison Murietta, his great love, died in "L.A.Outlaws." He has transferred from L.A. to the windswept and increasingly dangerous deserts in the Antelope Valley region. He chooses to be alone as he drives constantly reviewing his past and wondering of his future. He does maintain contact with Allison's son, Bradley Jones, who hangs with a dangerous crowd, has great potential, and is destined to either enter law enforcement or spend a life confronting it.
