Promised Land

Description

When private investigator Spenser is hired to find a missing wife, what appears to be a straightforward domestic case quickly leads him into a volatile world of radical politics, violent crime, and financial corruption. His investigation exposes the tangled interests surrounding a troubled real-estate development and brings him face-to-face with dangerous criminals and people driven to desperate extremes. As Spenser navigates the case with his trademark wit, toughness, and personal code of honor, he must confront questions of loyalty, responsibility, marriage, and the seductive promise of revolution. Crisp dialogue, fast-moving scenes, and a morally complex cast establish the distinctive style of this early entry in the acclaimed Spenser series.
