Produktbeschreibung

Halfway through my steak I caught sight of myself in the mirror behind the bar. I looked like someone who ought to eat alone. I didn't look in the mirror again.

Spenser likes to eat well, drink beer, and carve wood on his off-time. But otherwise he's Spenser for Hire, a wise-acre PI who takes on every case with good humour and brilliant instincts.

When Spenser is hired to look into the disappaearance of a medieval manuscript, stolen from a university library, he feels confident it'll be an easy case. A young university student has been accused of the theft, and Spenser is convinced she's innocent.

It's not long, however, before he's plunged into a quagmire of angry professors, bored housewives, heroin traffickers, Satanists and the Boston mob... and murder.

The Godwulf Manuscript is the first in Robert B. Parker's long-running Spenser For Hire series: dark, funny, noir-inspired and utterly unmissable. Inspired by Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett, The Godwulf Manuscript is not to be missed.

'When it comes to detective novels, 90 per cent of us admit he's an influence, and the rest of us lie about it' HARLAN COBEN

Autorenporträt

Born and raised in Massachusetts, Robert B. Parker completed a PhD in English at Boston University. He began writing his Spenser novels in 1971 while teaching at Boston's Northeastern University. Little did he suspect then that his witty, literate prose and psychological insights would make him keeper-of-the-flame of America's rich tradition of detective fiction. He was named Grand Master of the 2002 Edgar Awards by the Mystery Writers of America.
