Boston PI Spenser returns in this tense and twisty mystery from Robert B Parker's acclaimed and bestselling Spenser series.
When a fourteen-year-old boy disappears from a decent neighbourhood, everyone thinks he has run away. Everyone, that is, except private detective Spenser, who is hot on the trail of the missing boy; a trail that leads to corruption and a deadly partnership.
