<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The bestselling author of Pastime and Double Deuce presents a "taut thriller . . . Caught in a snowstorm of drugs, passion, and hate, Spenser investigates a cocaine-related murder. Part of Dell's ongoing Robert B.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>"Ebullient entertainment.<i>"</i>--<i>Time</i></b> <p/> A hotshot reporter is dead. He'd gone to take a look-see at "Miami North"--little Wheaton, Massachusetts--the biggest cocaine distribution center above the Mason-Dixon line. <p/> Did the kid die for getting too close to the truth . . . or to a sweet lady with a jealous husband? <p/> Spenser will stop at nothing to find out. <p/><b>Praise for Robert B. Parker's Spenser novels</b> <p/> "Like Philip Marlowe, Spenser is a man of honor in a dishonorable world. When he says he will do something, it is done. The dialogues zings, and there is plenty of action . . . but it is the moral element that sets them above most detective fiction."<b>--<i>Newsweek <p/></i></b>"Crackling dialogue, plenty of action and expert writing . . . Unexpectedly literate--[Spenser is] in many respects the very exemplar of the species."<b>--<i>The New York Times</i></b> <p/> "They just don't make private eyes tougher or funnier."<b>--<i>People</i></b> <p/> "Parker has a recorder's ear for dialogue, an agile wit . . . and, strangely enough, a soupçon of compassion hidden under that sardonic, flip exterior."<b>--<i>Los Angeles Times</i></b> <p/> "A deft storyteller, a master of pace."<b>--<i>The Philadelphia Inquirer</i></b> <p/> "Spenser probably had more to do with changing the private eye from a coffin-chaser to a full-bodied human being than any other detective hero."<b>--<i>The Chicago Sun-Times</i></b> <p/> "[Spenser is] tough, intelligent, wisecracking, principled, and brave."<b>--<i>The New Yorker</i></b><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Robert B. Parker</b> was the author of seventy books, including the legendary Spenser detective series, novels featuring Chief Jesse Stone, and the acclaimed Virgil Cole/Everett Hitch westerns, as well as the Sunny Randall novels. Winner of the Mystery Writers of America Grand Master Award and long considered the undisputed dean of American crime fiction, Parker died in January 2010.
