The 5h Spenser. This one takes place in London & includes Hawk - which is always fun!
I love the uncomplicated, straightforward Spenser books. This is one of the earliest books. It was published in 1974. So, we see Spencer, Hawk and Susan in their early years. No Pearl yet.

track down a killer.
One of the early Spenser novels. Parker takes Spenser and Hawk to Europe and Montreal.
An early Spenser with all of his wit and charm. Very good book
Spenser has gone to London -- and not to see the Queen. He's gone to track down a bunch of bombers who've blown away his client's wife and kids. His job is to catch them. Or kill them. His client isn't choosy. â But there are nine killers to one Spenser -- long odds. Hawk helps balance the equation. The rest depends on a wild plan. Spenser will get one of the terrorists to play Judas Goat -- to lead him to others. Trouble is, he hasn't counted on her being very blond, very beautiful and very dangerous.
"Spenser is Boston's answer to James Bond ... with a little Sam Spade and Nero Wolfe thrown in... Irreverent, witty, worldly ... makes for fast, amusing reading." (Pittsburgh Press) «

Vintage Spenser. As usual an excellent read complete with Hawk and Susan Silverman. I read it in a day. Love Parker's style of writing!
Good Spenser book, but written in the 70's so dated.
Fast Read.
If you like a great private detective, Spenser is your man!

Another in a great series. Get hooked!
This was not my favorite Spenser book, a little slow going not enough action even though Hawk who usually means action was helping Spenser.
Love all the Spenser books!
