"Found a first edition at the thrift store for a buck. ($1.06 with tax.) So what the hell.
Meatier than the most recent Spenser novels, and we only get one extended kitchen sequence. ("I sliced the Venezuelan beaver cheese that I get from a guy who lives in a refrigerator crate under the Tobin Bridge. He doesn't volunteer where it comes from, and I don't ask.")
Nice conundrum - if Spenser gets the wrongfully convicted guy out of jail, will he a) get killed for his trouble and b) cause more trouble since the guy is not exactly a model citizen ?
"Excellent; Continuing character: Spenser; he is hired to get a black career criminal convicted of murder of white preppie student out of prison, if he's innocent; in doing so, Spenser comes up against a killer who almost does him in."
