Publisher Description

Spenser is investigating the Port City Theater Company, where the director claims he's being stalked. When an actor is shot dead during a performance, all clues lead to the local Chinese Mafia, whose roots run deep in this drab waterfront city. With Hawk and ex mobster Vinnie assisting, Spenser eventually triumphs in one of his most compelling adventures.

"I am reading everything Robert B. Parker wrote and down to my last few books. Just finished this one today and when I first started it I thought "OH NO - a dull book". But once I got past the set-up it once again was such a fun ride with Spencer-Hawk-Susan interaction, and throw in Vinnie for more laughs. Did not figure things out until close to the end - really good twists and turns. Once again - I highly recommend all his books!!!"

    " Having read a few of the later books, it's nice to go back now and read as each character is introduced, as each favor is won. I love the way Parker writes and I'm glad to know there's another series (The Jesse Stone Series) when I finish this one. "

    " People actually read this stuff? Why bother? It's formula and cliche from start to finish. It's bad writing and bad characterization. Shadow puppets would have more depth. My first and last Robert B. Parker. "
