Description

Boston private investigator Spenser agrees to protect a young man during a ransom exchange involving a stolen painting, but the job quickly grows more complicated than a simple handoff. Suspecting that the courier knows far more than he is revealing, Spenser pursues the thieves through a dangerous game of deception that becomes unexpectedly personal. Blending sharp dialogue, moral complexity, and hard-boiled action, the novel explores loyalty, betrayal, and the uneasy line between justice and vengeance. It is a fast-moving and fitting entry in the celebrated Spenser series, featuring the wit and independent spirit that define its veteran detective.
