In the detective business, Spenser sometimes has to bend the law. Other tim es, to break it. But he lives by his own inviolate rules. And he loves just one woman -- even though she is the one woman he's just lost. So when Susan's desperate letter arrives, Spenser doesn't think twice. His best friend, Hawk, faces a life sentence. And Susan has gotten herself into even bigger trouble. Now Spenser has to free them both...even if it means breaking his own rules to do it. "If you like tight writing, no wasted words and interesting characters, Parker will be your cup of tea." (USA Today)

Chris Sheridan, the grandso n to Conn and now a special prosecutor, attempts to unravel the web of dece it begun by his grandfather decades before. In this rough world, the women are either promiscuous or incapable of love-making, except for Grace, whom young Chris hopes to marry. Like Spencer's Susan, Grace has wit and a charm ing reserve.

Parker, Robert B. Back Story (Spenser)
Berkley March 2, 2004 0-425-19479-5 / 9780425194799 Paperback Very Good+
Spenser's respectable 30th outing (he debuted 30 years ago in The Godwulf M anuscript) finds the veteran Boston PI teaming briefly with Jesse Stone, th e cop hero of a newer Parker series (Death in Paradise, etc.). The move wor ks because Parker plays it low-key, presenting Stone as just one of many ch aracters who cross Spenser's path as the PI-hired by a friend of his adopti ve son, Paul, for the princely sum of six Krispy Kremes-digs into the 28-ye ar-old murder of a woman during a bank robbery; the friend is the slain wom an's daughter and wants closure. Before Spenser bumps into Stone, the top c op in Paradise, Mass., he connects the killing to the daughter of big time Boston mobster Sonny Karnofsky, an old foe. When Spenser won't back off, Ka rnofsky threatens Spenser's girlfriend, Susan, then orders a hit on the PI. Enter as protection longtime sidekick Hawk; other series vets make appeara nces too on Spenser's behalf, including cops Belsen and Quirk and shooter V innie Morris. An interesting new character, a Jewish FBI agent, also helps out. The repartee between Spenser and Hawk is fast and funny; the sentiment between Spenser and Susan and the musings about Spenser's code are only oc casionally cloying; and there's a scattering of remarkable action scenes in cluding a tense shootout in Harvard Stadium.

Pretty teenager April Kyle is in grown-up-trouble, involved with people who 'd beat her up for a dollar and kill her for five.

From a specialty whorehouse in Providence to stylish Back Bay bordellos, he pits muscle and wit against bullets and brawn until he finds what he's looking for: April Kyle, little girl lost. "Nowhere is Spenser's vitality clearer than in CEREMONY...Spenser probably had more to do with changing the private eye from coffin-chaser to a full-bodied human being than any other detective hero."

PARKER, ROBERT Crimson Joy
Dell April 2, 1989 0-440-20343-0 / 9780440203438 Paperback Very Good
Tightly constructed prose and well-paced action characterize this exciting entry in the famous Spenser series. Psychotherapist Susan Silverman appropr iates a more central role when a serial murderer turns out to be one of her clients. Working with two out-of-favor policemen to trap the suspect, Spen ser and Hawk protect the independent Susan while she confronts the killer. Parker skillfully weaves Susan's objective theorizing, Spenser's mot juste narrative, and the killer's subjective emotions into fascinating psychologi cal interplay. Smoother, better focused, and less cryptic than last year's Pale Kings and Princes .

Parker, Robert B. Family Honor (Sunny Randall)
Berkley November 7, 200 0-425-17706-8 / 9780425177068 Paperback Very Good
Let's get this settled right away: Sunny Randall is nothing like Spenser. T rue, she's a private eye in Boston with good connections to the cops, and s he also knows a lot of bad guys. And yes, she happens to have a trusty side kick named Spike, and a close friend who could easily be related to Susan S ilverman, (Spenser's long-term companion). Oh, did I mention the cute dog? Aside from that, though, there's absolutely no similarity between this new series from Robert B. Parker and his long-running Spenser books. Just becau se the case Sunny is working on--finding a missing 15-year-old girl who has run away from her very rich parents--sounds similar to the Spenser favorit e Thin Air doesn't mean Parker is repeating himself here. Think of it as mo re like a homage, the kind of thing the author took on when he agreed to fi nish Raymond Chandler's Poodle Springs. Only in this case it's a homage to himself--but what the hell. Written specifically with Parker's good friend actress Helen Hunt in mind, Family Honor is all in good fun. At one point, a no-nonsense nun looks down at Sunny's bull terrier, who is lying on her back begging for a tummy rub. "What's wrong with this dog?" Sister said. "It is a dog, isn't it?"
