About this book
A serial killer is on the loose in Beantown and the cops can't catch him. But when the killer leaves his red rose calling card for Spenser's own Susan Silverman, he gets all the attention that Spenser and Hawk can give.
Who this is for
AI · Sample
A patient, character-first epic that asks you to sit with worldbuilding before any payoff arrives. Readers who love long arcs and slow-burn relationships tend to finish it twice; readers chasing momentum often DNF in the first hundred pages. Plan for unhurried evenings.
