"Very Good; Continuing character: Spenser; he tracks a mafioso's son-in-law who has stolen funds to gamble in Vegas, as a turf battle begins in Boston's mob scene."
"Chance Spenser and Hawk find themselves in the middle of a gang takeover attempt when Spenser is hires by one gang boss to find is daughter's missing husband. Several trips to Las Vegas are involved as well as a murder or two. Typical Parker with a wisecracking Spenser and taciturn Hawk. Quick and light.
"I have read all of the Spencer novels and I really liked this story of the environment and influences of how Spencer became the man he is today. Enjoyable, fast read!"
