Potshot

De: Robert B. Parker

Narrado por: Joe Mantegna

Boston P.I. Spenser returns — heading west to the rich man's haven of Potshot, Arizona, a former mining town recently reborn as a paradise for Los Angeles millionaires looking for a place to escape the pressures of their high-flying lifestyles. When a band of modern-day mountain men, led by a charismatic individual known as The Preacher, takes over the town, even the local police are powerless to defend the residents in the face of the clever, dangerous gang. Spenser assembles a group of his own, including the redoubtable Hawk, to beat the gang at their own dangerous game and form the nucleus of a real police force to watch over the town when he's gone.©2001 Robert B.

Terrific!

one of my favorites. Brings back so many from previous stories & Hawk is again amazing at knowing him so well.

Same ol' Spenser

If you've read any Spenser novels before, you probably don't really care about the reviews... you're going to read (or listen to) it anyways.

That being said... you won't be disappointed by Joe Mantegna's reading of these books, although I found the accents that he gives the female characters hysterical. The "he said, she said" comment of the previous reviewer is valid, but I didn't find it overly distracting.

Great get together of Spenser and his pals

Another great Spenser tale, read beautifully by the narrator. Can't wait for the Spenser series on Netflix!!

Spencer meets Preacher - shots fly

I love Spencer novels. They never let me down and always entertain me. Robert Parker was a great storyteller and created great characters in his Spencer series. I have read ALL the books in the series and this book, Potshot, is one of my favorites. Spencer is his wonderful lovable tough guy self and he has a formidable foe, Preacher, in the town of Potshot. Go get 'em Spencer!
