Spenser's job is to keep Candy healthy until she breaks the biggest story of her career. But her star witness has just bowed out with three bullets in his chest, two tough guys have doubled up to test Spenser's skill with his fists, and Candy is about to use her own sweet body as live bait in a deadly romantic game--a game that may cost Spenser his life.

"Crackling dialogue, plenty of action, and expert writing." (The New York Times)
"Another Good Spenser Novel"
I am a avid Spenser Series fan and it seems as if Mr. Parker only gets better with each book. Fans, Hawk is not in this one and neither is Susan. Hopefully these characters will return and build more of a relationship with Spenser.
"Just so-so for a Spenser novel."
Not really. Week plotting and characters. First, Michael Prichard is awful as the narrator. Bring back Joe Mantegna.
No. It's far down the list of Parker's books. Not far from dead last.
Joe Mantegna, best Spenser ever.
Doing anything with this would be a waste of time and money.
