        Dell, 1987, Paperback - Crime Fiction - 328 pp.

     When it seems the star pitcher of the Boston Red Sox baseball team is accepting bribes to lose games, private detective Spenser goes undercover as a baseball writer to find out the truth. But soon he discovers a nasty tale of blackmail and his cover is blown apart...
      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
