Opis

In a shabby waterfront town, an actor is shot dead onstage. As Spenser combs Port City's underworld for answers, he encounters an unpredictable cast of lovers, liars, killers and clowns--whose multiple motives constitute a master class in distinguishing reality from illusion.

Recenzje

Praise for Walking Shadow

Will captivate both longtime and soon-to-be devoted Spenser lovers. Kirkus Reviews

The opening premise is particularly delicious...neat jolts of action, crisp, witty dialogue, the signature understated, deadpan zingers that Spenser and Hawk toss off so effortlessly and a lean, mean narrative that rockets the book along. If you're already a Spenser fan, you'll like this one. If you've never read Robert B. Parker, welcome aboard. After Walking Shadow, you'll have a lot of books to catch up on. The New York Times

Brisk...the expected pleasures of an adroit Spenser adventure are here in full supply. Publishers Weekly

Entertaining, as always. Boston Globe

A really good story. Chicago Tribune

A deft storyteller, a master of pace, with a plot that pulls us along like taillights vanishing down a dark highway...The wisecracking, deadpan dialogue is as snappy as ever...sheer escapist entertainment. Philadelphia Inquirer
