When a simple case turns into a treacherous and politically charged investigation, Spenser faces his most difficult challenge yet-keeping his cool while his beloved Susan Silverman is in danger. Spenser knows something's amiss the moment Dennis Doherty walks into his office. The guy's aggressive yet wary, in the way men frightened for their marriages always are. So when Doherty asks Spenser to investigate his wife Jordan's abnormal behavior, Spenser agrees. A job's a job, after all. Not surprisingly, Spenser catches Jordan with another man, tells Dennis what he's found out, and considers the case closed. But a couple of days later, all hell breaks loose, and three people are dead. This isn't just a marital affair gone bad.

About the Author:
Robert B. Parker is the author of more than fifty books. He lives in Boston.
From AudioFile:
In this thirty-fifth book in the Spenser series, Parker revisits some old history. After Spenser is hired to tail a clients wife, hes uncomfortably reminded of his own past problems with his longtime love, Susan. As he digs up the paramours history, Spenser must reconcile his own feelings about Susan while bringing another villain to justice. The plot takes on an international perspective when the cheating wife leads Spenser to a group involved in procuring weapons and recruits for terrorist activities. Joe Mantegna delivers a solid performance. Its easy to picture him as Spenser since he has played the role on A&E. He doesnt do as well with some of the female voices, but hes a cool performer nonetheless. E.D.H. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
