Synopsis
Spenser smells corruption in a college town. Taft University's hottest basketball star is shaving points for quick cash. All manner of sleaze -- from corrupt academics to hoods with graduate degrees -- have their fingers in the pot.
Spenser's search takes him from lecture halls to blue collar bars and finally into a bloody confrontation with almost certain death. But Spenser saves an arrogant young athlete -- even though it nearly kills him to do it.

Reviews
No matter how many of these I read I enjoy every one of them. I never have been to fond of Susan but the friendship between Spenser and Hawk makes the story in my opinion. I look forward to each book.
