Praise for Ace Atkins and the Spenser Series
Handpicked by the Parker estate to be the keeper of the flame for the Spenser franchise, award-winning author Ace Atkins rises flawlessly to the occasion. In addition to the signature dialogue, all the familiars are fully resurrected: Susan, the sexy shrink; Pearl, the wonder dog; Hawk, the wonder sidekick; good cop Quirk, and, of course, Spenser himself, that consummate knight errant for the twenty-first century. Kirkus Reviews
It s a feat when a writer creates characters who live and breathe on the page and make readers care and keep coming back for more. To manage that with someone else s characters, let alone with an icon like Spenser, is a minor miracle. Ace Atkins pulls it off. Chicago Sun-Times
