ABOUT THE BOOK

Twenty-five years and 26 books into the Spenser series, Hush Money dishes up another solid instalment that is sure to fulfil the cravings of Parker fans new and old.

This time Spenser and his buddy Hawk are helping a couple of troubled friends (i.e., they're working without a fee). The first case involves the denial of tenure for Professor Robinson Nevins. While tenure meetings are always closed-door affairs, Nevins assumes that the recent suicide of graduate student Prentice Lamont (who some claim was having an affair with Nevins) ruined his chances for a coveted permanent position. Spenser and Hawk cut a brawl-strewn path through the members of the tenure committee on their way to the surprising truth of the Nevins case.

The other investigation pits Spenser against the unknown stalker of K.C. Roth. Spenser's girlfriend, Susan, has known K.C. for a while, and while the PI finds Ms. Roth a bit melodramatic, he's always eager to help a damsel in distress. The only problem is that after he's apparently resolved the case, K.C. begins a little stalking of her own - of Spenser.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM

"...Robert B Parker's Spenser is one of the best private detectives in fiction ..." - Sunday Telegraph

"...It's nice to know that after 25 years of playing it smart in Robert B. Parker's novels, Spenser doesn't have all the answers...." - Marilyn Stasio, New York Times
