Three Complete Spenser Novels
by Robert B. ParkerTHE PROMISED LAND .. .... Renowned for his wisecracks, his right hook, and his penchant for poetry and pretty women, Spenser is one-of-a-kind in the detective business.

But the witty sleuth quickly discovers that the medieval manuscript is just one strand in a sticky web of drug deals, a seductive blue- blood mother and her even more seductive daughter, a murdered campus radical, small- time mobsters, and big-time trouble. "Spenser is as tough as they come and spiked with a touch of real class." --Kirkus Reviews MORTAL STAKES For Spenser, it looks like the job of a lifetime: drink beer, eat peanuts, and hang out with the Boston Red Sox players to investigate some behind-the-scenes hanky panky. But Spenser soon stumbles on a very nasty blackmail scheme involving a pornographic movie, the team's star pitcher, and a couple of vicious thugs. Spenser thinks he's found a solution, but time is running out--and if the truth leaks, the Sox are finished. "Spenser probably had more to do with changing the private eye from a cof- fin-chaser to a full-bodied human being than any other detective hero." --The Chicago Sun-Times PROMISED LAND Harvey Shepard, a shady Cape Cod vacation home developer, wants his wife back, and he's willing to pay Spenser whatever it takes to find her and get her home. But the real trou- ble starts when Spenser tracks the little woman down and discovers she's gotten her- self mixed up in a bank robbery and murder. Spenser's got just twenty-four hours to untangle this mess--or he'll wind up with two very dead clients.
