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"
