Spenser knows somethingβs amiss the moment Dennis Doherty walks into his office. The guyβs aggressive yet wary, in the way men frightened for their marriages always are. So when Doherty asks Spenser to investigate his wife Jordanβs abnormal behavior, Spenser agrees. A jobβs a job, after all.
Not surprisingly, Spenser catches Jordan with another man, tells Dennis what heβs found out, and considers the case closed. But a couple of days later, all hell breaks loose, and three people are dead. This isnβt just a marital affair gone bad. Spenser is in the middle of hornetβs nest of trouble, and he has to get out of it without getting stung.
With Hawk watching his back and gun-for-hire Vinnie Morris providing extra cover, Spenser delves into a complicated and far-reaching operation: Jordanβs former lover Perry Alderson is the leader of a group that helps sponsor terrorists. The Boston P.I. will use all his connectionsβboth above and below the lawβto uncover the truth behind Aldersonβs antigovernment organization. Alderson doesnβt like Spenser poking around his business, so he decides to get to him through Susan. But what Alderson doesnβt realize is that Spenser will do anything to keep Susan out of harmβs way; nothing will keep him from the woman he loves.
