For more than half a century New York Times bestselling author Robert B. Parker’s inimitable private investigator Spenser has been solving cases and selling millions of books worldwide. Now, for the first time, Robert B. Parker gives us a glimpse into the formative years of his most iconic character.
“A clean, sharp jab of a read.”—Booklist
Young Spenser is tough. After all, he’s being raised by his father and uncles—three of the strongest men in town. He knows how to fight, and he’s had to prove it. But sometimes the hardest thing to do is walk away. So when Spenser sees his friend Jeannie being taken downriver in a boat by her abusive father, he has a hard decision to make. Should he risk his own life to save Jeannie’s? And if so, how can he overcome such a bear of a man?
Robert B. Parker was the author of seventy books, including the legendary Spenser detective series, the novels featuring Police Chief Jesse Stone, the acclaimed Virgil Cole–Everett Hitch westerns, as well as the Sunny Randall novels. Winner of the Mystery Writers of America Grand Master Award and long considered the undisputed dean of American crime fiction, he died in January 2010.
