Helpful Score: 1
A great novel. One of the older "Spenser" stories but if you've read any of the newer ones, you'll want to go back and read them all. Parker doesn't disappoint with the action and suspense.
CATSKILL's plot and delivery changed style considerably from previous novels in the Spenser series, giving the appearance that the classic detective novel's solitary-private-eye may have walked off lonely street. Here he sang heated duets of a different kind of wounded blues (slowly being healed). Spenser and Hawk were a team throughout this plot. They committed and sacrificed nearly everything, to rescue Susan, both body and soul. This installment in the Spenser series is about the quest. It is about the things around us that define who we are and how we respond when we are needed. And in that, it succeeds far beyond almost anything else you will read in this genre.
