Synopsis "Professional" certainly is one way describing Gary Eisenhower's affairs. Blackmailing wealthy women after he documents their philandering activities together is how the man pays his bills. But when four of them join forces against him, they hire Robert B. Parker's old-school PI, Spenser, to track him down. With macho husbands out to protect their honor against a remorseless Don Juan, however, things start getting messy for Boston's hard-boiled hero.

Industry Reviews "Great plotting, clever dialogue, and Spenser's mouthwatering cooking all make for a fantastic time." (starred review)
"Just when you think you've got his number, Robert B. Parker pulls another bluff....For some reason, the manliest of detectives becomes fascinated by the psychology of the ladies' man, and instead of bruising his knuckles on this case, he spends most of his time wittily discussing it with...the psychotherapist who is his designated 'honey bun.'"

"The action takes its time getting to a dead body, but, as usual, the smooth, entertaining prose more than compensates for any deficiencies of plot." (08/17/2009)
