Description

In the latest thriller featuring the legendary Boston PI, Spenser heads to the City of Angels to meet old friends and new enemies in a baffling missing person case that might shake Tinseltown to its core.

Gabby Leggett left her Boston family with dreams of making it big as a model/actress in Hollywood. Two years later, she disappears from her apartment. Her family, former boyfriend, friends--and the police--have no idea where she is and no leads. Leggett's mother hires Spenser to find her, with help of his former apprentice, Zebulon Sixkill, now an L.A. private eye.

Spenser barely has time to unpack before the trail leads to a powerful movie studio boss, the Armenian mob, and a shadowy empowerment group some say might be a dangerous cult.

It's soon clear that Spenser and Sixkill may be outgunned this time, and series favorites Chollo and Bobby Horse ride to the rescue to provide backup. From the mansions of Beverly Hills to the lawless streets of a small California town, Spenser will need to watch his step. In Hollywood, all that glitters isn't gold. And not all those who wander are lost.

    Good story with short glance at Joe Pike. What I liked most about this adventure was that this book was not a segue into another book. It was an enjoyable read.

    Revisited some old friends and great memories. This Ace Atkins has a perfect RBP - only miss Hawk and even he gets several mentions. Can’t wait to read the next.
  • Well done!

    When I started the book I thought I missed a chapter, you come into the middle of a story. The book is basically two stories that have been in the headlines for the past two years, since the “me to movement” and not done very well. I’m not sure if I’m more disappointed in the author or myself for reading the whole book.

    Good story, but overly complicated and sometimes tedious plots. Worth reading if you are not in a hurry.
  • Yikes!

    Read all of the Spenser novels over the years. Glad I opted for the download version of this one.

    I enjoyed the book very much, but for the first time I really noticed how much different and less complete Mr Atkins’ version of Spenser is from the character developed by Mr Parker. I did not feel Spenser coming alive in this book. Although the story will be familiar to many Spenser readers, I thought it was engaging. I hope that Mr Atkins spends more effort on his vision of the Spenser character next time as he does very well with his excellent Quinn Colson character. Sea
  • Loved this!

    First time reading Ace Atkin’s Spenser, and can’t wait for the next one! (Loved the “nod” to Robert Crais’s Joe Pike, too)
