Spenser is. . ."The sassiest, funniest, most-enjoyable-to-read-about private eye around today. . . the legitimate heir to the Hammett-Chandler-Macdonald tradition." --The Cincinnati Post
Spenser is. . ."Tougher, stronger, better educated, and far more amusing than Sam Spade, Phil Marlowe, or Lewis Archer. . . Spenser gives the connoisseur of that rare combination of good detective fiction and good literature a chance to indulge himself." --The Boston Globe
