Pale Kings and Princes

Pale Kings and Princes by Robert B Parker

Ebullient entertainment.--Time

A hotshot reporter is dead. He'd gone to take a look-see at Miami North--little Wheaton, Massachusetts--the biggest cocaine distribution center above the Mason-Dixon line.

Did the kid die for getting too close to the truth . . . or to a sweet lady with a jealous husband?

Spenser will stop at nothing to find out.

Praise for Robert B. Parker's Spenser novels

Like Philip Marlowe, Spenser is a man of honor in a dishonorable world. When he says he will do something, it is done. The dialogues zings, and there is plenty of action . . . but it is the moral element that sets them above most detective fiction.--Newsweek

Crackling dialogue, plenty of action and expert writing . . . Unexpectedly literate-- Spenser is] in many respects the very exemplar of the species.--The New York Times

They just don't make private eyes tougher or funnier.--People

Parker has a recorder's ear for dialogue, an agile wit . . . and, strangely enough, a soup on of compassion hidden under that sardonic, flip exterior.--Los Angeles Times

A deft storyteller, a master of pace.--The Philadelphia Inquirer

Spenser probably had more to do with changing the private eye from a coffin-chaser to a full-bodied human being than any other detective hero.--The Chicago Sun-Times

Spenser is] tough, intelligent, wisecracking, principled, and brave.--The New Yorker
