â€œEbullient entertainment.â€â€”Time

A hotshot reporter is dead. He'd gone to take a look-see at â€œMiami Northâ€â€”little Wheaton, Massachusettsâ€”the biggest cocaine distribution center above the Mason-Dixon line.

Did the kid die for getting too close to the truth . . . or to a sweet lady with a jealous husband?

Spenser will stop at nothing to find out.

Praise for Robert B. Parker's Spenser novels

â€œLike Philip Marlowe, Spenser is a man of honor in a dishonorable world. When he says he will do something, it is done. The dialogues zings, and there is plenty of action . . . but it is the moral element that sets them above most detective fiction.â€â€”Newsweek

â€œCrackling dialogue, plenty of action and expert writing . . . Unexpectedly literateâ€”[Spenser is] in many respects the very exemplar of the species.â€â€”The New York Times
Â
â€œThey just donâ€™t make private eyes tougher or funnier.â€â€”People
Â
â€œParker has a recorderâ€™s ear for dialogue, an agile wit . . . and, strangely enough, a soupÃ§on of compassion hidden under that sardonic, flip exterior.â€â€”Los Angeles Times
Â
â€œA deft storyteller, a master of pace.â€â€”The Philadelphia Inquirer
Â
â€œSpenser probably had more to do with changing the private eye from a coffin-chaser to a full-bodied human being than any other detective hero.â€â€”The Chicago Sun-Times
Â
â€œ[Spenser is] tough, intelligent, wisecracking, principled, and brave.â€â€”The New Yorker
