Description

When a suspicious fire claims the lives of three Boston firefighters, Captain Jack McGee turns to Spenser to uncover the truth behind the tragedy. As Spenser, Hawk, and his young protégé Sixkill pursue a hidden arsonist, their investigation carries them from Boston’s elite circles into its increasingly dangerous criminal underworld. Along the way, Spenser confronts violent adversaries, shifting loyalties, and the physical realities of age while remaining guided by his unwavering code of ethics. With sharp dialogue, gritty action, and an authentic feel for Parker’s iconic detective, the novel explores friendship, loyalty, justice, and a changing Boston.
