Book Description:
The celebrated series continues as a troubled teenager accused of a horrific crime draws Spenser into one of the most desperate cases of his career.
Lily Ellsworth-erect, firm, white-haired, and stylish-is the grand dame of Dowling, Massachusetts, and possesses an iron will and a bottomless purse. When she hires Spenser to investigate her grandson Jared Clark's alleged involvement in a school shooting, Spenser is led into an inquiry that grows more harrowing at every turn. Though seven people were killed in cold blood, and despite Jared's being named as a co-conspirator by the other shooter, Mrs. Ellsworth is convinced of her grandson's innocence. Jared's parents are resigned to his fate, and the boy himself doesn't seem to care whether he goes to prison for a crime he might not have committed.

Solid Parker. Enough?

Kent S. from KENMORE, WA wrote on 12/13/2007...I've grown weary of the Spenser novels. They all blur together. They don't disappoint, but they don't delight, either.

Michael F. from EUGENE, OR wrote on 6/21/2006...Always have been a fan of Robert B. Parker's work. This book is up to his usual high standards.
Another great Spenser tale from Robert Parker! I always love the wit in these stories...wish I had the comebacks that Spenser has! They're always remaking movies...this is one television series I wish they would bring back.
