Thin Air

Robert B. Parker


When a Boston police detective's bride, Lisa St. Claire, disappears without a trace, he enlists Spenser's help in tracking her down. Sleuthing from the halls of academe to the slick sports clubs of L.A., Spenser discovers all about Lisa--including her past history of prostitution, substance abuse, and self-destructive love affairs--and suspects she is being held prisoner by her sociopathic Latino ex-lover within the barrio of a burned-out Massachusetts mill town. Accompanied by a Chicano shooter with ironclad attitude and an unflinching sense of honor, Spenser sets in motion a complex plan to rescue Lisa.
