Robert B. Parker

Looking for Rachel Wallace (A Spenser Mystery) (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Political activist and author Rachel Wallace is a tough young woman who writes - and speaks - her mind, which has made her a lot of enemies. But she's got a new book due out, exposing discriminatory practices by several prominent corporations, and it's pretty clear some of those enemies want her dead.

'Crackling dialogue, plenty of action and expert writing' New York Times Book Review

Her publishers, insisting she has a bodyguard, hire the biggest toughest guy they can find: Spenser, the tough guy with a macho code of honour, hired to protect a feminist who thinks that code is obsolete.

'Nobody does it better' Publishers Weekly

Privately, they will never see eye to eye - that's why she fires him - but when Rachel vanishes, Spenser starts rattling skeletons in blue-blooded family closets and tangling with the Ku Klux Klan, ready to lay his life on the line to find Rachel Wallace.

Autorenporträt

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.
