Parker, Robert B. Bad Business
Berkley Pub Group 2005 0425199576 / 9780425199572 Mass Market Paperback Very Good
When Marlene Cowley hires Spenser to see if her husband Trent is cheating on her, he encounters more than he bargained for: not only does he find a two-timing husband, but a second investigator as well, hired by the husband to look after his wife. As a result of their joint efforts, Spenser soon finds himself investigating both individual depravity and corporate corruption.It seems the folks in the Cowleys' circle have become enamored of radio talk show host Darrin O'Mara, whose views on Courtly Love are clouding some already fuzzy minds with the notion of cross-connubial relationships. O'Mara's brand of sex therapy is unconventional at best, unlawful--and deadly--at worst. Then a murder at Kinergy, where Trent Cowley is CFO, sends Spenser in yet another direction. Apparently, the unfettered pursuit of profit has a price.With razor sharp characterizations and finely honed prose, this is Parker at the height of his powers. Clean spine with some cover wear. A nice copy.

Parker, Robert B. Night Passage
Jove 1998 0515123498 / 9780515123494 Mass Market Paperback Good
Fans often feel uneasy when the creator of a popular character ventures into new turf, and sometimes their trepidation is justified. But readers of Robert B. Parker's immensely popular Spenser series can breathe a sigh of relief: while Night Passage doesn't feature Spenser, his usual gang of associates, or a Boston setting, it's vintage Parker--fast, witty, suspenseful, and engaging. Told in short, crisp chapters, it's the story of Jesse Stone, a 34-year-old ex-cop who just lost his L.A. policeman's job and his marriage due to a drinking problem. The book opens as Stone leaves California for his new job as chief of police in the picturesque town of Paradise, Massachusetts. But Paradise isn't as placid as it seems--in fact, it's a festering mass of petty corruption, right-wing militia, sexual scandal, and bad guys who favor strong-arm tactics. Night Passage boasts a delicious, classic setup: the lone lawman, new in town, must make his stand to clean the place up. Stone has been picked for the job because the town fathers figured he'd be weak and malleable; as he gradually pulls himself together, it turns out they have a surprise in store. Stone's qualities may remind you of Spenser's--he's taciturn, fearless, good-looking, and compassionate--and in the end the plot's pleasing complexities get resolved a bit simply. But Robert B. Parker is in fine form in Night Passage, with his smart-aleck wit under control and his prose at its economical best. Spenser fans and Parker neophytes alike will find plenty to enjoy here. And the setting is, after all, not far from Boston--dare we hope for a Spenser-Stone meeting in future books? Spine creases and cover wear. A good reading copy.

Parker, Robert B. School Days
Berkley Publishing Group 2006 0425211347 / 9780425211342 Mass Market Paperback Fine
School violence is the incendiary topic that fires up this installment of Robert Parker's ever-popular series about Spenser, the Boston P.I. After two gun-toting kids in ski masks kill seven people and wound eight at an elite private school, one of the shooters, Wendell Grant, gives himself up to police, and fingers Jared Clark as the other perpetrator. Jared's grandmother Lily Ellsworth refuses to believe in Jared's guilt, and hires Spenser to find the evidence proving his innocence, setting Spenser against an entire establishment anxious to close the book on the crime. Looks almost brand new!
