ABOUT THE BOOK

When Susan's ex-husband, Brad, appears after a decades-long absence, nearly broke and the object of a sexual-harassment suit, Spenser reluctantly agrees to help. As he investigates the circumstances surrounding the suit, he discovers that fund-raiser Brad is swimming in very deep water: mobsters, who were using his fund-raising campaigns to launder money, have discovered he was cooking the already cooked books and aren't at all pleased. The deeper Spenser digs, the more bodies he uncovers and the more culpable Brad appears to be.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM

"...Parker's dialogue is always cutting and laugh out loud funny ..." - Donna Leon,, The Sunday Times

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

"...Parker gives these two bruisers [Spenser and Hawk] plenty of room for their verbal bobbing and weaving, generously setting up great scenes at the gym, on various stakeouts and in one seriously tough bar in the South End...." - Marilyn Stasio, New York Times

"...Robert B Parker's PI's are in the nobly stoic mould of Marlowe, The Continental Op and Lew Archer ..." - Uncut
