Valediction

The most dangerous man to cross is one who isnt afraid to die. But the most deadly is one who doesnt want to live. And Spenser has just lost the woman who made life his #1 priority. So when a religious sect kidnaps a pretty young dancer no death threat can make Spenser cut and run. Now a hit mans bullet is wearing Spensers name. But Bostons big boys dont know Spensers ready and willing to meet death more than halfway. "Tough wisecracking unafraid and unexpectedly literate --in many respects the very exemplar of the species."
