The Professional Hardback - 2009
de Parker, Robert B.
A knock on Spenser's office door can only mean onething: a new case. This time the visitor is a local lawyerwith an interesting story. Elizabeth Shaw specializes inwills and trusts at the Boston law firm of Shaw & Cartwright, andover the years she's developed a friendship with wives of verywealthy men. However, these rich wives have a mutual secret:they've all had an affair with a man named Gary Eisenhower-and now he's blackmailing them for money. Shaw hires Spenserto make Eisenhower "cease and desist," so to speak, but whenwomen start turning up dead, Spenser's assignment goes fromblackmail to murder.
As matters become more complicated, Spenser's longtimelove, Susan, begins offering some input by analyzing Eisenhower'sbehavior patterns in hopes of opening up a new avenue ofinvestigation. It seems that not all of Gary's women are rich. Soif he's not using them for blackmail, then what is his purpose?Spenser switches tactics to focus on the husbands, only to findthat innocence and guilt may be two sides of the same coin.
With its eloquently spare prose and some of the best supportingcharacters to grace the printed page, The Professional isfurther proof that "[t]here's hardly an author in the crime novelbusiness like Parker" (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette).
