New York Times Book Review: "Mr. Parker has written a powerful piece about the defeat and reclamation of a hero, but I wouldn't say that Spenser's dance with death teaches the old knight to act his age." |

In his 20th appearance, P.I. Spenser is investigating a crime where the defendant has already been tried, convicted, and punished. So why do the defense attorney and the prosecutor both feel squeamish enough to hire Spenser to reinvestigate? Although Ellis Alves, the career criminal who was convicted of raping and killing Melissa Henderson, has committed many crimes, the murder of the college student may not be one of them. Alves may be taking the rap for someone desperate and ruthless enough to murder anyone who tries to dismantle a successful frame job, even our favorite cat-with-nine-lives private dick. Could Spenser have finally met his match? A "New York Times" Notable Book for 1997. |
