First edition very fine The usual characters, Spenser, Susan, Hawk ect in a Massachusetts mill town which has become the cocaine capital of New England. Spenser is hired to find who killed a reporter who was looking into the cocaine trade. The client was the newspaper editor who sent the reporter. Spenser finds more than the editor was hoping for including corrupt police and several murders that happen in the wake of his investigation. Not really too many surprises in this one, but plenty of violence. There are just some things you know you can count on. You know your driver’s license photo will make you look like an axe-murderer. You know a dropped piece of toast will land jelly-side down. And you know that a Robert B. Parker Spenser novel will give you a solid read. ‘Pale Kings and Princes’ is no different. Sent off to a small Massachusetts town to investigate the murder of a young reporter, Spenser quickly finds himself up to his neck in cocaine dealers, crooked cops, and people who aren’t quite telling the truth. How he gets past the not quite part and deals out his own particular kind of justice forms the backbone of the story. The usual cast of characters is on hand, the usual wry dialogue is spoken, and satisfaction happens all around. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
