Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

In the famed Boston PI's 22nd case, an oddly sympathetic villain and a resolute heroine draw Spenser into a barrio enclave in a depressed Massachusetts factory town. Readers know that Lisa St. Clair, a radio deejay newly married to a Boston police detective, has been kidnapped and imprisoned in a Proctor, Mass. tenement by Rico, her former lover. The cop, who knows only that his wife has disappeared, is shot and seriously injured just after he asks Spenser to investigate. Chapters alternate between the room where Lisa is kept under guard and constantly running video cameras and Spenser's gradual assembling of clues. The PI discovers Lisa's former name and occupation; he thinks up a way to penetrate Proctor's divided and desperate Hispanic community, ruled by Rico and a rival. Lots of atmosphere and even suspense?Will Lisa resist Rico's demands? Can Spenser discover a way to rescue her??are built up in short sentences and one-line paragraphs. Spenser's pal Hawk is away (his place taken briefly by the sharp L.A. crook, Chollo), and his lover, Susan, and dog Pearl are kept mostly backstage during a slightly stretched out story that, nevertheless, packs a lot of punch. Mystery Guild selection; Literary Guild alternate.

This review is from: Thin Air (Paperback)

Robert Parker's Spencer series is like candy, very satisfying while being digested, but soon gone, leaving one wishing for more. I have read most of the Spenser books, and I have never been disappointed.

Par	Paul Skinner (Manassas, Virginia United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Thin Air (Paperback)

Spenser gets a call from police friend Frank Belsen to look for his missing wife. Along the way, Spenser and Susan go to LA to uncover some background info, and pick up a Hispanic sidekick named Chollo. I didn't understand what motivated Chollo to join Spenser back to the east coast to finish the job, but Spenser needed him as Hawk is MIA in this book. Chollo wasn't nearly as entertaining as Hawk, but the basic premise of the book was pretty good.

4.0�toiles sur 5 Spenser (or Parker) Rules, OK., Janv. 3 2001

Par	Elsie Wilson (Aberystwyth, Cymru) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Thin Air (Paperback)

More plot to this novel ~ more detecting too ~ than some other Spenser stories. Still, plot is not everything, and still not the real reason one reads Parker. The interplay between Spenser and Susan is as strong as ever; Hawk is in Burma ~ don't ask ~ so we miss seeing him and Spenser. There is a Hawk replacement in the person of Chollo, a Latino hit-man from one of Spenser's West Coast connexions and, while not as detailed or intricate as the Hawk conversations, his with Spenser are still pleasurable. The pretext for the action this time is the disappearance of Lisa St. Claire, wife of Spenser's Boston PD friend Frank Belson. When Belson is hit with three shots from behind Spenser activates himself and goes hunting. The trail leads to a Hispanic community in northern Massachusetts ~ hence the introduction of the Latino side-kick. A welcome innovation (from Parker, not for fiction as a whole) is the use of third person sections interspersed, in a different type-face, telling of Lisa's experience. We thus are given both the hunter and hunted points of view.
