Kinjo Heywood is one of the New England Patriots’ marquee players - a hard-nosed linebacker who’s earned his reputation as one of the toughest guys in the league. When off-field violence repeatedly lands Heywood in the news, his slick agent hires Spenser to find the men who he says have been harassing his client.
Heywood’s troubles seem to be tied to a nightclub shooting from two years earlier. But when Heywood’s nine-year-old son, Akira, is kidnapped, ransom demands are given, and a winding trail through Boston’s underworld begins, Spenser puts together his own all-star team of toughs. It will take both Hawk and Spenser’s protégé, Zebulon Sixkill, to watch Spenser’s back and return the child to the football star’s sprawling Chestnut Hill mansion. A controversial decision from Heywood only ups the ante as the clock winds down on Akira’s future.

Reseñas de la Crítica
“Spenser is as tough and funny as ever, and Atkins has become a worthy successor.” (Booklist)
“Assured... Atkins’s gift for mimicking the late Robert B. Parker could lead to a long run, the the delight of Spenser devotees.” (Publishers Weekly)
“A well-conceived adventure that balances Spenser and friends’ experience with Akira’s innocence while drawing on Atkins’ own Auburn football days.” (Crimespree Magazine)

If you could sum up Robert B. Parker's Cheap Shot in three words, what would they be?
Interesting, witty, niceWhat other book might you compare Robert B. Parker's Cheap Shot to and why?
I really can't make a comparison because this is Ace's first attempt.Which scene was your favorite?
Any scene with Hawk.If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
?Any additional comments?
I thought that after Robert B. Parker's death that was the end of Spenser. However, Ace Atkins has done a formidable job of carrying on the Spenser tradition. He has adequately gotten the nuances of Spenser's psyche and has accurately portrayed the supporting characters. I would suggest to continue with Joe Mantegna's narrating the series. He also gets the characters. I've listened to other narrators of the Spenser books and there is NO comparison to Joe M.I thought I had lost Spenser

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
Sure, if you are a Spenser fan, well, here is a Spenser book.If you’ve listened to books by Ace Atkins before, how does this one compare?
Mr Atkins has done Spenser ok, his sense of humor, his quirky and yet still aloof and cool style. Most of the other regular characters seem to be missing. I suppose this is a good thing though, here is why: Let's start with Susan. Mr Parker was brilliant as penning her, smart, fun, and interesting, unusual and a quick match for Spenser. Susan is her own person and their relationship is unique. Unfortunately, Mr Atkins lacks the same skill and nuance to write Susan. General females are written a bit trite and more often than not he only describes their physical appearance than who they are, their qualities and interesting quirks. Whats more interesting, or sad, is that he does this well in describing any male character introduced or described.What about Joe Mantegna’s performance did you like?
Lovely as always. One of my favorite narrators.Female get voiced a bit too breathy and often sound like hair heads.
Do you think Robert B. Parker's Cheap Shot needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
Always, cant say good by to Spenser, and never to Parker. I miss him very much.Love Spenser, even if Atkins hits only 70%
