“Ebullient entertainment.”—Time
A hotshot reporter is deceased. He'd gone to have a look-see at “Miami North”—little Wheaton, Massachusetts—the biggest cocaine distribution middle above the Mason-Dixon range.
Did a child die for getting too close to the truth . . . or even to a sweet sweetheart with a jealous man?
Spenser will stop at nothing to learn.
Reward for Robert B. Parker's Spenser books
“Like Philip Marlowe, Spenser is a man of honor in a dishonorable world. When he says he'll do something, it is performed. The dialogues zings, and there is plenty of action . . . but it is the moral element that models them above most detective fiction.”—Newsweek
“Crackling dialogue, lots of action and expert writing . . . Unexpectedly literate—[Spenser is] in many respects the very exemplar of the types.”—The NY Times
“They just don’t make private sight tougher or funnier.”—People
“Parker has a recorder’s ear for dialogue, an agile wit . . . and, strangely enough, a soupçon of compassion hidden under that sardonic, flip exterior.”—Los Angeles Times
“A deft storyteller, a grasp of speed.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer
“Spenser probably acquired more regarding changing the private eyes from a coffin-chaser to a full-bodied individual than some other detective hero.”—The Chicago Sun-Times
“[Spenser is] hard, sensible, wisecracking, principled, and courageous.”—The New Yorker
