Book Description:
Spenser smells corruption in a college town. Taft University's hottest basketball star is shaving points for quick cash. All manner of sleaze -- from corrupt academics to hoods with graduate degrees -- have their fingers in the pot.
Spenser's search takes him from lecture halls to blue collar bars and finally into a bloody confrontation with almost certain death. But Spenser saves an arrogant young athlete -- even though it nearly kills him to do it.
"Spenser is a tough as they come and spiked with a touch of real class." (Kirkus Reviews)

Kelly P. (The 16th Spenser. The plot for this one is collegiate basketball and gambling. Addresses several social issues in a nice way - thought-provoking without beating you over the head with it.
Gotta love Spenser!
Get ready to be smacked in the mouth! Spencer and Hawk at their peak!
Lenore D. (I love nearly everything this author has ever written. Robert B. Parker is the master of witty dialogue and great characters. Spenser is a likeable tough-talking Galahad disguised as a street-smart ex-boxer detective, and Parker is a really fantastic writer, very subtle, who can say a LOT with just a LITTLE! You can't lose with a Spenser novel. Try the new Jesse Stone or Sunny Randall novels as well, though they are a bit formulaic (Sunny is a very estrogen amped version of Spenser), they're still worth your time! You won't be sorry!
