![]() ![]() Good luck! These dumb gang bangers obviously haven’t read any of Parker’s other novels. Sure enough, the local gang can’t abide their presence, and the gang attempts to intimidate Spenser and Hawk. The redoubtable duo’s “plan” for ridding the Double Deuce of gangs is to sit in Hawk’s Jaguar while parked in the middle of the project, thereby acting as bait. Hawk’s fee for the job is (as is often the case in Spenser novels) zero, but Spenser demands half. Hawk enlists Spenser’s help in getting the gangs out of a housing project, the address of which is 22 Hobart Street, after the murder of a young black mother and her 3-month-old baby, presumably by gang bangers. Here is a book in which we actually get a peek at Hawk’s psyche. Parker authored books featuring the intrepid Boston private eye, Spenser (with an “s”), I won’t bother describing the dramatis personae who appear in many of the other books as well as in this one. ![]() Since I have already reviewed about a dozen Robert B. ![]()
