Sudden Mischief by Robert B. Parker in excellent pre-owned condition. A Spenser Novel#25. Spenser comes to the aid of his ladylove, Susan, and finds himself in the midst of a deadly conspiracy in Robert B. Parker's masterful new thriller. In Sudden Mischief, Parker's stouthearted hero unwillingly takes a case that tests his sleuthing skills-and his commitment to the woman he loves. Brad Sterling-former Harvard football player, ne'er-do well, and Susan Silverman's long-out-of-touch ex-husband-is, by all appear ances, a successful businessman. But when he is charged with sexual harassment in the course of running a vast fund-raiser called Galapalooza, he turns to Susan for help. Though Brad denies the charge, he's desper. ate, behind in alimony and child support to other exes, and on the verge of dissolution. When Spenser reluctantly agrees to the case, he finds Brad denies everything. Sterling claims everything is fine-he is free of debt and frec of problems. While the harassment charge begins to look more and more specious, Spenser begins to sense there is something wrong with Galapalooza, when leads to charities turn into deadends. Susan, meanwhile, becomes steadily more problematic as she wrestles with demons reinvigorated by the resurrection of her ex-husband. As the questions mount, Brad disappears, a body is found, and a shad owy mob connection begins to coalesce. Spenser finds himself fighting a two-front war: against some very bad men on the one hand, and an increasingly difficult Susan, struggling with her own resurrection, on the other. Dark, contemplative, and morally com-plex, Sudden Mischief is a brilliant meditation on the meaning of justice, love, and passion.
