BAD BUSINESS by ROBERT B. PARKER
|
SummaryA cheating husband and a wayward wife provide Spenser with
an unconventional and dangerous surveillance job. When Marlene Cowley hires Spenser to see if her husband,
Trent, is cheating on her, he encounters more than he
bargained for: Not only does he find a two-timing husband,
but a second investigator as well, hired by the husband to
look after his wife. As a result of their joint efforts,
Spenser soon finds himself investigating both individual
depravity and corporate corruption. It seems the folks in the Cowley's circle have become
enamored of radio talk-show host Darrin O'Mara, whose views
on Courtly Love are clouding some already fuzzy minds with
the notion of cross-connubial relationships. O'Mara's brand
of sex therapy is unconventional at best, unlawful-and
deadly-at worst. Then a murder at Kinergy, where Trent
Cowley is CFO, sends Spenser in yet another direction.
Apparently, the unfettered pursuit of profit has a price. With razor-sharp characterizations and finely honed prose,
this is Parker writing at the height of his powers.
