SixKill: A Spenser Mystery
A villainous movie star, a soft-spoken assassin, and a new sidekick all await Spenser, Robert B. Parker’s legendary private eye. A girl has been found dead, seemingly strangled, in the hotel room of movie star Jumbo Nelson. Jumbo’s lawyers want Spenser to find out whether Jumbo did it – not because they care either way, but because the knowledge will help them work out how to block his conviction. Jumbo is a sufficiently repulsive individual that Spenser finds it hard to contain his distaste. And then there is his bodyguard, Zebulon Six kill, a Cree Indian who squandered his pro-football career thanks to an inability to control his temper, and turned his attentions to alcohol instead. Also involved in Jumbo’s case for reasons that remain unclear is a cold-blooded assassin who just might be the most dangerous enemy Spenser has faced yet.
