Paper Doll

Description

When the well-regarded wife of a prominent Boston businessman is murdered, private investigator Spenser is hired to uncover the truth behind a crime that appears to have no clear motive. His investigation leads from the city’s privileged circles into a maze of family scandals, hidden identities, political influence, and long-buried secrets. As Spenser presses for answers, his sharp wit and unyielding sense of justice bring him into conflict with people determined to protect their reputations at any cost. Combining brisk pacing, hard-boiled atmosphere, and sardonic humor, this installment explores power, privilege, and the moral compromises concealed beneath respectable appearances.
