Publisher Description
New York Times bestselling author of the Spenser series of crime thrillers - Book 2 in the series -
Appie Knoll is the kind of suburb where kids grow up right. But something is wrong. Fourteen-year-old Kevin Bartlett disappears. Everyone thinks he's run away -- until the comic strip ransom note arrives. It doesn't take Spenser long to get the picture -- an affluent family seething with rage, a desperate boy making strange friends...friends like Vic Harroway, body builder. Mr. Muscle is Spenser's only lead and he isn't talking...except with his fists. But when push comes to shove, when a boy's life is on the line, Spenser can speak that language too.
"A brillant, and cynical, comic tragedy or tragic comedy of manners. Long may Parker wave." -- Los Angeles Times
Customer Reviews
Very Good
That’s it. That’s the review.
So what happens at the end ??
What I think is the 1st book of the Spenser series is a quick, easy read. The time frame is maybe 30+ years ago but it’s still a good story about a private eye in the Boston, MA area. Spenser has a history in the area with local law enforcement and his sense of humor is unique.
Good
Early Spenser. Good stuff
