In Brink of Suspicion, the antagonist's identity remains elusive until the final revelation. Try as you might to guess who it is, Parker bets you will be totally unprepared for the truth.

"To know in advance what will ultimately become of the antagonist or the protagonist would make writing a chore rather than a pleasure."
Repeated on the front cover of Allen Parker's novels are the words: "Mystery, Romance, Intrigue, Deception, Betrayal, Greed, Suspense, Drama." These themes are deeply imbued in his psyche and travel seamlessly from his fingers to the page. Parker's writing style relies on letting the narrative and dialogue flow organically rather than preplanning outcomes.
