A bad-boy movie star named Jumbo pushes the limits of his reputation when he’s accused of rape and murder. When the Boston PD calls on Spencer, he meets Jumbo’s young bodyguard, Zebulon Sixkill, and the two form an unlikely alliance. It’s a high profile case for Spenser, but the Hollywood secrets he uncovers are sordidly unsavory- and not just those of the accused…
The last Spenser novel completed by Robert B. Parker.On location in Boston, bad-boy actor Jumbo Nelson is accused of the rape and murder of a young woman. From the start the case seems fishy, so the Boston PD calls on Spenser to investigate. Things don’t look so good for Jumbo, whose appetites for food, booze, and sex are as outsized as his name. He was the studio’s biggest star, but he’s become its biggest liability.In the course of the investigation, Spenser encounters Jumbo’s bodyguard: a young former football-playing Native American named Zebulon Sixkill. He acts tough, but Spenser sees something more within the young man. Despite the odd circumstances, the two forge an unlikely alliance, with Spenser serving as mentor. As the case grows darker and secrets about both Jumbo and the dead woman come to light, it’s Spenser—with Sixkill at his side—who must put things right.
Robert B. Parker was the author of seventy books, including the legendary Spenser detective series, the novels featuring Police Chief Jesse Stone, and the acclaimed Virgil Cole–Everett Hitch westerns, as well as the Sunny Randall novels. Winner of the Mystery Writers… More about Robert B. Parker
