Publisher Description

The last Spenser novel completed by Robert B. Parker. On location in Boston, bad-boy actor Jumbo Nelson is accused of the rape and murder of a young woman. From the start the case seems fishy, so the Boston PD calls on Spenser to investigate. Things don’t look so good for Jumbo, whose appetites for food, booze, and sex are as outsized as his name. He was the studio’s biggest star, but he’s become its biggest liability. In the course of the investigation, Spenser encounters Jumbo’s bodyguard: a young former football-playing Native American named Zebulon Sixkill. He acts tough, but Spenser sees something more within the young man. Despite the odd circumstances, the two forge an unlikely alliance, with Spenser serving as mentor. As the case grows darker and secrets about both Jumbo and the dead woman come to light, it’s Spenser—with Sixkill at his side—who must put things right.

"I really enjoyed this book. Very fast paced and the writing is sparse and to the point. First time I read this author and really liked his writing style and how he told the story. This was the last in a series of books for this character, a private detective in Boston. The author passed away in 2010. I'm going to go back to the beginning and read the first book with this character and read all the subsequent books in order. There are 40 books so Imhave storiesmto look forward too."

    " I'm sad that this is Parker's ladt Spencer. I don't want to contemplate another author taking on this character, but I would like to hear more about Sixkill or Hawk ... "

    " What a FUN read! This was recommended to me by a co-worker. I really liked the character "Spencer" .. a quick, witty, bad ass mofo! I will definitely be including all of the books of the Spencer series into my "to-read" list. (Sixkill is book #40) SO I am excited to know there are 39 other books featuring Spencer *two thumbs up* "

    " Somewhat disappointing final Spenser. It's still Spenser, but spending too much time on philosophy and not enough on being Spenser. "

    " Robert Parker isn't an author I follow. I was in need of a quick read that didn't require much thought on my part. That's exactly what I got. Not sure if that's a good or bad review :) Overall, it was an overdone plot, and predictable storyline. Oh well, it served it's purpose. "

    " Too bad Parker didn't get the chance to explore Sixkill more unique character in the genre would make an interesting compliment to Hawk. "

    " How good was this book? This book was soooo good, I couldn't put it down---well, maybe a few times, but seriously, it was great fun. Sixkill was a good addition to Spenser's cast of characters. This was Mr. Parker's last Spenser novel...would that Hawk had been there. "
