Spenser is good at finding things. But this time he has a client out on
Cape Cod who is in over his head. Harvey Shepard has lost his pretty
wife -- and a very pretty quarter million bucks in real estate. Now a
loan shark is putting on the bite.Spenser finds himself doing a slow
burn in the Cape Cod sun. The wife has turned up as a hot suspect in a
case of murder one...the in-hock hubby has 24 hours before the mob makes
him dead...and suddenly Spenser is in so deep that the only way out is
so risky it makes dying look like a sure thing.

around today." (The Cincinnati Post)
