Synopsis
When fourteen-year-old Mattie Sullivan asks Spenser to look into her mother's murder, he's not convinced by her claim that the wrong man was convicted. Mattie is street-smart, wise beyond her years, and now left to care for her younger siblings and an alcoholic grandmother in a dilapidated apartment in South Boston. But her need for closure and her determination to make things right hits Spenser where he lives.
As Spenser becomes more involved, he thinks that Mattie may be onto something after all. And he's going to need the help of his friend Hawk to find peace for Mattie—a job that's more dangerous than he ever thought.
Reviews
This novel was probably in an unpublishable format at the time of Parkers untimely death. It has characters we know and love, Susan, Quirk, Hawk, Boz father & son. However, about 3/4 way through, it became more bloody and brash and unParker like. Hawk, especially, took on sense of darkness. He was unlike the Hawk of earlier times...I hope that its just me and others see him as before. But, sad to say, for me, this novel says that it will be very hard to find another like the books namesake.
