About this ebook
Hawk wants Spenser to wage war on a violent street gang. Susan wants Spenser to move in with her. Either way, Spenser's out of his element. So why not risk both?
'Mr Parker is at his best . . tense . . . suspenseful . . darkly poetic' New York Times
The story is simple: Hawk has decided to help out his new lady friend, an investigative journalist, by cleaning out the gang in the local housing project known as 'Double Deuce' after the gang is responsible for gunning down a fourteen-year-old mother and her three-month-old daughter in the ghetto.
Of course he asks his old friend, hard-nosed P.I. Spenser, to help him.
And of course Spenser accepts.
'Double Deuce's snappy dialogue, timely, fast-paced action and quick characterisations make it classic Spenser' Publishers Weekly

About the author
Robert B. Parker is widely recognised as the dean of American crime fiction. His bestselling novels featuring the wise-cracking, street-smart Boston private eye Spenser earned him a devoted following and reams of critical acclaim. Born and raised in Massachusetts, Parker attended Colby College in Maine, served with the Army in Korea, and then completed a Ph.D. in English at Boston University. He and his wife Joan founded Pearl Productions; the independent film company was named after their short-haired pointer, Pearl, who also features in many of Parker's novels. Parker's fictional Spenser inspired the TV series Spenser: For Hire as well as several movies. The Mystery Writers of America named Parker a Grand Master, following in the footsteps of his heroes Alfred Hitchcock and Ellery Queen. Parker died in 2010, at the age of 77.
