"Holmes's London, Maigret's Paris, Marlowe's L.A. Many of mystery fiction's most original sleuths are irrevocably linked in our minds and affections with the cities in which they dwell. Spenser's Boston is one of those magical pairings. And Robert B. Parker, native son of Massachusetts and lifelong New Englander, has made his home in the city where his much-beloved series is set for nearly four decades. No better guide exists to its little-known byways and its oft-visited landmarks." "What could be more delightful than the opportunity, with Robert B. Parker at your side, to visit the places - from the Ritz Bar to Hyannis - most significant to Spenser, Susan Silverman, Hawk, Rachel Wallace, and all the other characters whose tastes and idiosyncrasies we know so well?" "Spenser's Boston offers a marvelous chance to go behind the scenes of a favorite mystery series. As a gift for another fan or as a splendid self-indulgence, it's the unique mystery presentation of the year. And it will remain so for a long time to come. Besides, it's the ideal way to enjoy a very special visit to one of our nation's most celebrated cities - without the traffic jams!"--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
