Praise for Ace Atkins and the Spenser Series
"Atkins does a wonderful job with the characters created by Parker. To loyalists it may be
heresy, but a case can be made for the Atkins novels being better than some of the last
Spenser mysteries penned by Parker. A top-notch thriller." --Booklist (starred review)
