Spenser takes on the task of exonerating a man for a murder he did not commit. The twist here is that, while the recipient of these efforts isn't a murderer, he is far from innocent. Along the way, Spenser is nearly killed by a hit man, spends a year recuperating, and considers long-time squeeze Susan's request that they adopt a child.
