## Description

Classic Boston noir thriller from global bestseller Robert B. Parker - one of contemporary crime fiction's most popular and acclaimed authors. When a young journalist researching the cocaine trade in a small Massachusetts town is found murdered, private detective Spenser is called in to find out who is responsible. Wheaton isn't just any small town though - Spenser soon discovers it's one of the biggest cocaine distribution centres in the Northeast. But the local drugs cartel are not the only suspects - did the journalist get too close to the truth, or too close to the wife of a very jealous man? 'One of the great series in the history of the American detective story' New York Times
