Sadly, Parker's last. I finished this fine book with a sigh - no more Spenser, or Susan, or Hawk or Pearl. The novel is typically Parker - short chapters, great conversation, gets to the point quickly. I love the relationship between Susan and Spenser - such a burly man to be so educated and so tender with his special girl. In this book Spenser has agreed to protect a college professor. When he fails, it becomes his mission (in Spenser fashion) to find those that did the deed so he can get back his self-respect. I loved the book. I will truly miss the author. I will miss the dedication to Parker's wife Joan. I always looked for that first in every book.
