Book Description:
Early Autumn introduces Paul Giacomin, SpenserÃÂ's ÃÂadoptedÃÂ son. A bitter divorce is only the beginning. First the father hires thugs to kidnap his son. Then the mother hires Spenser to get the boy back. But as soon as Spenser senses the lay of the land, he decides to do some kidnapping of his own. With a contract out on his life, he heads for the Maine woods, determined to give a puny 15 year old a crash course in survival and to beat his dangerous opponents at their own brutal game.

Tracy B. (
Lynda C. (After Spenser is asked to recover a teenager who is the subject of a custody dispute, he realizes the boy is being emotionally abused by both parents and sets out to prepare him for life as an independent adult.
Patricia H. (This is a very early Spenser book, and Parker's writing and the development of the character we have grown to love in later books, is still in the "adolescent" stage. His writing improves with every book. Susan and Hawk are in the book, and we are introduced to Paul. I read the book in an afternoon. It would be good for a plane, train or the beach or poolside.
Kelly P. (The 7th Spenser book. As fun & enjoyable as they all are!
One of the best of the Spenser series. I have not read them in order so this filled in some blanks. In this book Spenser meets and rescues Paul Giacomin who shows up from time to time in later books. It SEEMS to be the first appearance of Hawk, but I can't be sure of that.
This is one of my favorite Spenser books, because he takes this confused, insecure kid under his wing and becomes sort of a big brother and saves him from his seriously screwed-up parents. They build a cabin together and talk about life, and form a bond of trust and true friendship. And of course there's plenty of Spenser-style action.
This is the introduction of Paul Giacomin. Long-time Spenser fans will remember him as the young man who occasionally visits and from time to time stays with Spenser. This is the story of how they came to know each other. It's one of Parker's best. Not only expositional, but inspirational.
