サブプライム住宅ローン危機
Parks' second book, "Eyes of the Innocent," was based on Parks' reporting of the Subprime mortgage crisis and House flipping that became common in Newark and other cities prior to the Global financial crisis of 2008–2009. It received a starred review from "Library Journal", which called it "as good if not better (than) his acclaimed debut." The Wall Street Journal described protagonist Ross as "engaging" and said the book was "a capable follow-up to this author's award-winning debut." The Free Lance–Star described it as "a book that melds the style of a Bob Woodward and a Janet Evanovich."
