Lullaby

Lullaby is the 41st novel featuring Robert B. Parker's iconic detective Spenser, written by Ace Atkins. Set in Boston's Irish-American neighborhood, the story follows Spenser as he is hired by fourteen-year-old Mattie Sullivan to investigate her mother's murder four years earlier.

Mattie believes the man convicted of the crime was framed, and as Spenser, his longtime friends Hawk and Vinnie Morris, and his partner Dr. Susan Silverman dig deeper, they uncover a conspiracy involving a local mob figure and a decades-old grudge. Gritty, tense, and steeped in the hardboiled tradition, Lullaby is a compelling addition to the Spenser canon.
