HTML:Susan's letter came from California: Hand was in jail, and she was on the run. Twenty-four hours later, Hawk is free, because Spenser has sprung him loose—for a brutal cross-country journey back to the East Coast. Now the two men are on a violent ride to find the woman Spenser loves, the man who took her, and the shocking reason so many people had to die. . . .
Spenser breaks Hawk out of jail and rescues Susan from a very controlling man she has taken up with after breaking up with Spenser. The controlling man is the son of a notorious arms dealer that the CIA wants taken care of. In addition to selling weapons illegally he has an army of mercenaries that he rents to foreign governments, non-governments, rebel groups and sometimes both sides. The CIA tell Spenser and Hawk that they can make the many criminal charges relating to the jail break and several deaths go away if they can kill the arms dealer. Will they succeed? Does Spenser win Susan back. Read and see. ( )
When Susan can't make up her mid to leave abusive boyfriend she calls Hawk for help; Hawk ends up in trouble and Spenser loses all moral compass in quest to 'rescue' Susan.
Although I have to admit this one felt a little bit more dated than I might have liked, I really enjoyed diving back into the universe of Parker's Spenser. Parker has a way of bringing characters and scenes to life even against fast and dialogue-driven scenes, and this was an easy, enjoyable read to sink into while on vacation. It's a reminder to me to go back to the other Spenser novels I never got around to and wander through them as I get the chance.
I probably wouldn't recommend starting with this one if you're not already a fan of this series, but it's worth getting around to once you become a fan. ( )

"And there is a Catskill eagle in some souls that can alike dive down into the blackest gorges, and soar out of them again and become invisible in the sunny spaces. And even if he forever flies within the gorge, that gorge is in the mountains; so that even in his lowest swoop the mountain eagle is still higher than the other birds upon the plain, even though they soar." Herman Melville, Moby-Dick
