Taming a Sea-Horse
Synopsis
Boston private investigator Spenser takes on a case that pulls him into the city's criminal underworld — a missing woman, a ruthless mob boss, and a past that refuses to stay buried. Told in Parker's signature lean, hard-hitting prose, the novel blends gritty detective work with a wry sense of humor as Spenser navigates betrayal, violence, and the choices that define a man's loyalty.
