THis is quite simply my favorite Spenser novel in a long time, this includes Parker's last few. He has the dialogue down pat but he has added a deftness to plotting which Parker simply didn't have towards the end of his life with Spencer. ( ) This is the first post-Parker Spencer I've read that I didn't frequently remember the author wasn't Robert B. Good yarn, characters stayed true to canon. We listened to this on a trip back from Rabun County where we evacuated to as Hurricane Matthew barreled toward Charleston. Both the book and the storm had satisfying outcomes for us (though the storm hit other parts of SC and the east coast quite hard.) no reviews | add a review

Henry Cimoli and Spenser have been friends for years, yet the old boxing trainer has never asked the private eye for a favor. Until now. A heavy-handed developer is trying to buy up Henry's condo on Revere Beach and sends thugs to move the process along. Soon Spenser and his apprentice, Zebulon Sixkill, find a trail leading to a mysterious and beautiful woman, a megalomaniacal Las Vegas kingpin, and plans to turn to a chunk of land north of Boston into a sprawling casino. Bitter rivals emerge, alliances turn, and the uglier pieces of the Boston political machine look to put an end to Spenser's investigation. Aspiration, greed, and twisted dreams all focus on the old Wonderland dog track where the famous amusement park once fronted the ocean. For Spenser and Z, this simple favor to Henry will become the fight of their lives. No library descriptions found. |
