    About this audiobook

    The adoring wife of a senatorial candidate has a smile as sweet as candy and dots her "i's" with little hearts. A blond beauty, she is the perfect mate for an ambitious politician, but she has a little problem with sex and drugs--a problem someone has managed to put on videotape.

    The big boys figure a little blackmail will put her husband out of the race. Until Spenser hops on the candidate's bandwagon.

    But getting back the tape of the lady's X-rated indiscretion is a nonstop express ride to trouble--trouble that is deep, wide and deadly.

      Another cracker of a story, gulped down on a wet afternoon. Just such compelling writing!
    • 3/5
      The details of Spenser's relationship with Susan are more interesting than the crime in this one. A politician's wife has manage to get herself filmed in an orgy. Spenser has to try to keep this from ruining her. You don't really care one way or the other.
    • 5/5
      I've systematically been working my way through Robert Parker's Spenser novels, and this is likely to be one of my favorites. His best work (like Looking for Rachel Wallace) embed larger themes within a compelling mystery and this is one of those. The mystery surrounding a congressman's philandering wife triggers Spenser to think about love, devotion, and it's role in his own life. Good stuff.

      Plus, I just really like Spenser.

      Spenser in DC, squeezing a crime boss, protecting a fundamentalist candidate, digging around in sleaze again. The true heir to Mickey Spillane. But not enough Hawk!
