Why read it?
1 author picked The Professional as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is one of a series of Spenser novels. It is set in modern-day Boston, and this novel follows the protagonist, Spenser, as he tries to find out who shot his associate Hawk. Parker takes the reader into a murky netherworld where all is grey, even justice.
The novel's pacing is slick, the characterization believable, and the dialog takes one back to Raymond Chandler. I read it in two sittings.
