Publisher Description

When the bride of a Boston police detective vanishes, he hires Spenser to find her. His path leads from a New England college campus to glamorous L.A. sports clubs. When the trail turns to a world of prostitution, drug abuse, and self-destruction, Spenser must enter ghetto tenements to continue his search. Ultimately, Spenser must hire a Chicago hitman to help him free the girl from a sociopathic ex lover. Working through gang leaders and corrupt cops, Spenser learns about humanity and justice as he strives to achieve his goal.

"This was an enjoyable Spenser. We find out in the opening pages that Frank's wife has disappeared into "thin air" and in fact has been snatched. This provides a more personal challenge for Spenser than those in most of the stories."

    " I would recommend this book to anyone that finds themselves say... stuck at the airport... with no money for magazines... and you've circled the gift shops... twice. Basically, on a scale of Blah-WOW, I give this book a 'meh.' "

    " One aspect of this novel is how deeply Parker gets into the head of the victim -- the kidnapped wife of a police officer. This is a great novel of suspense and insight, and is a worthy addition to the Spenser saga. "

    " Tension. More tension. I couldn't read it in the evening before bed. Parker had some good passages which contemplated what happens to people with disastrous childhoods. I think that Parker was a good man. I often mourn his passing. "

    " Vacation read. I read it right after an Elmore Leonard and it pales in comparison. Where Leonard's guys seem quirky and real, Parker's seem to go just a little too far and close to comic book. Not bad, though, if you need a 2 day read on the beach for giggles. "

    " This is my first Spenser book. He's no Nero Wolfe, but he's got a dry sense of humor I can relate to. Plus he's a badass. Another bonus: there are approximately 100,000 Spenser novels, so this series should keep me busy for quite some time. "
