The Professional (A Spenser Mystery) Av Robert B. Parker

<p>Private eye Spenser has never had any difficulty handling women. But when four stunningly beautiful trophy wives hire him to protect them against a blackmailer threatening to expose their infidelities, even he must admit that they look like trouble.<br><br>Tracking down Gary Eisenhower, the blackmailer and serial adulterer, isn''t too difficult - but almost in spite of himself Spenser finds that he quite likes the guy. Certainly the women, with their loose purse-strings and looser morals, and their loveless marriages to rich, powerful, corrupt men, are hard to feel sorry for.<br><br>But a killing soon changes the complexion of the case, and draws Spenser into the world of Boston''s moneyed aristocracy: a world of corruption, vice and murder. As the bodies start to pile up, Spenser must decide which of his friends he can trust.<br><br><b>''One of the great series in the history of the American detective story'' <i>New York Times</i></b></p>
