Superintendent Parrish

Parrish is a supporting character in The Book of Falling by Rob Pegler.

A high-ranking member of the Roseburg police force, Parrish was still an Inspector when he first encountered Gabriel Pope and Meliad during the "Downsfield Incident". Promoted to Superintendent for his (supposed) part in bringing the crisis to a close, Parrish worked with Mel again when defending the Mayor’s life against Salome Argyros. Severely wounded during the resulting confrontation, Parrish has since left the police force and now works as a consultant to the Mayor’s office. Parrish has no love for the inhuman denizens of Roseburg, even those on his side; he fosters a particular dislike for Mel, whom he considers dangerous.

Weapons of choice: Parrish was last seen wielding an MP5 submachinegun.

Parrish appears in the stories “Shades of Grey” and “Agenda”.
