I thought that I had already read all of the Spenser novels and was delighted to discovered I was wrong. It is a story of corporate greed run amuck which seems surprisingly apropos considering it was published in 2004. Parker is consistent in painting Spenser as a smart mouth, hard boiled detective. I was a little disappointed that Hawk (the ying to Spenser’s yang) did not play a larger part in the story. The repartee between those two are generally the highlight of the book. It is a quick read, not intellectually challenging and eminently enjoyable.
