     The bestselling author of Pastime and Double Deuce presents a taut thriller . . . Caught in a snowstorm of drugs, passion, and hate, Spenser investigates a cocaine-related murder.

      Like Philip Marlowe, Spenser is a man of honor in a dishonorable world. When he says he will do something, it is done. The dialogues zings, and there is plenty of action . . . but it is the moral element that sets them above most detective fiction. - Newsweek

     Crackling dialogue, plenty of action and expert writing . . . Unexpectedly literate[Spenser is] in many respects the very exemplar of the species. - The New York Times

They just don't make private eyes tougher or funnier. - People

      Parker has a recorders ear for dialogue, an agile wit . . . and, strangely enough, a soupçon of compassion hidden under that sardonic, flip exterior. - Los Angeles Times

      A deft storyteller, a master of pace. - The Philadelphia Inquirer

     Spenser probably had more to do with changing the private eye from a coffin-chaser to a full-bodied human being than any other detective hero. - The Chicago Sun-Times

     [Spenser is] tough, intelligent, wisecracking, principled, and brave.- The New Yorker

      Ebullient entertainment.- Time.
