Spenser may have uncovered an explosive secret that threatens the career of a controversial figure, in this latest installment of Robert B. Parkerâs beloved series.
Vic Hale isnât anyoneâs idea of a father figure. He is one of the biggest â and loudest -- podcasters in the nation and got there by spewing overheated rhetoric thatâs reviled by some but loved by even more. His particular brand of âentertainmentâ is so successful, heâs about to sign the biggest contract in the history of online broadcasting. Vicâs riding high...until he gets a visit from Spenser, who specializes in bringing guys like Hale back down to Earth.
Spenser is there on behalf of Daniel Lopez, a young man who believes Hale may be his father. Itâs a potentially explosive revelation for a man in the podcasterâs position and it might even be enough to blow up his massive new deal. That could explain the bodies that start popping up â bodies connected in one way or another with the mystery surrounding Danielâs birth. There are a lot of questions remaining, and Spenserâs going to have to find the answers before someone shuts Hale or Daniel up for good.
