Black Dog lives in the deep pit of the human soul, where desolation and depression also hang out.
In this third Jimmy Parisi novel, the Chicago detective is fighting against fatigue and homicide burnout.
His latest case involves a killer who is draining the blood from young women before leaving them to die.
All of the victims have one thing in common – they are all young women who are alone in the world with no family to miss them.
With his old partner Doc Harold Gibron taking a month’s leave of absence, Jimmy is paired up with the young Jack Wendkos to investigate the case.
But as they set out to investigate Jennifer Peterson’s killing, Jimmy and Jack are called out to a murder scene in the West Side, also known as ‘the hood’.
An old man, Arthur Ransom, has been found with his throat sliced open in his one-bedroom flat. Jimmy believes that Ransom might have been killed as part of a gang initiation.
But investigating any crime in the hood is hard as nobody “knows nothing” and the brutal killing of an old man in the heart of gangland is of little interest to the media.
As Jimmy tries to unravel the mystery surrounding the vicious killer, who’s been dubbed The Count, he discovers there is a connection between the murders and satanic rituals and Goth clubs.
As the detectives are plunged into the underworld of the black arts they realise that vampire cults and devil worship are alive and well in sophisticated twenty-first century Chicago…
Black Dog is the third book in the Detective Jimmy Parisi Thriller series.

Black Dog Detective Jimmy Parisi Thriller Book 3 edition by Thomas Laird Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
Thomas Laird's writing is certainly an acquired taste, at best. The second I picked up this book, my first thought was "Why the hell am I reading this?" The answer was simple enough- Mr. Laird's ideas and insight into the character's minds are crazy, yet seductive and intriguing. The book has grip- that is, to say, it literally turns the reader into the character. I am me, yet I am also Jimmy Parisi. Sick and impossible, but true. I found myself throwing the book at the nearest wall, or trying to kill it in other useless ways, whenever Jimmy had a new problem and I could feel his adrenaline while he was on the trail. Every jump, every twist, every heartbeat- they were all my own. I sometimes found myself shivering from the cold Jimmy felt, or weeping with him for his wife and son. Laird isn't shy, I'll give him that. He doesn't ease the reader into anything, just pushes them right into the ice-cold water... then holds them under.
BLACK DOG has been hailed a superior thriller by the WASHINGTON POST, the CHICAGO SUN TIMES, PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY, and LIBRARY JOURNAL. It's a scary novel about modern Satanists and would-be vampires. Don't leave your windows open at night!
I picked this up because I was in one of those "in between" points in one's day. Interesting title; interesting cover. That was about as far as it went. I became so tired of Jimmy Parisi talking to himself, repeatedly, his black dog, his girlfriend's death years ago, his nearly racist tirades, his friend Doc, Red, his wife, his son's depresssion, his depression, I wanted to kill myself.
Too many problems. On top of all of this, a serial killer who drains blood (a little Starsky and Hutch, no?) and then additionally, tortured animals. It's almost as though, how can I say this? It's almost as though Mr. Laird has lined up any number of plots and checks them off as he covers them. Good father who wasn't there for his son; good father whose wife died suddenly and he struggled on courageously; good cop who loses his mentor to retirement and it's too much to tell him how much he misses him. But none of those issues grabbed me, because they were superficially raised and then put away. I would think if one or two or three of those issues were addressed and then really examined and resolved over 20 or 25 chapters, it would have been more satisfying.
Finally, there is any number of diatribes about Catholics. Being anti-catholic is one thing; it's America. Have you listened to Michael Moore lately? But to be malicious and spiteful in your attacks, not very sporting, eh mate? I gave it 3 stars because of the superlative physical descriptions of one of the greatest cities in America. But Jimmy Parisi ain't no Spenser. Not yet. But I will read Mr. Laird again. Larry Scantlebury
