A Spenser Mystery 

A girl has been found dead, seemingly strangled, in the hotel room of movie star Jumbo Nelson. Jumbo's lawyers want Spenser to find out whether Jumbo did it - not because they care either way, but because the knowledge will help them work out how to block his conviction. Jumbo is a sufficiently repulsive individual that Spenser finds it hard to contain his distaste. And then there is his bodyguard, Zebulon Sixkill, a Cree Indian who squandered his pro-football career thanks to an inability to control his temper, and turned his attentions to alcohol instead. Also involved in Jumbo's case for reasons that remain unclear is a cold-blooded assassin who just might be the most dangerous enemy Spenser has faced yet. But if he can persuade Sixkill to turn his life around, Spenser might just have the ally he needs...

Spenser (PI) for Hire Novels Lot of 16 Robert B Parker Hardback Books and Jesse Stone Lot of 2 Novels

Spenser "with an 'S', like the poet" is a Bostonian ex-cop-turned-private detective, gourmet cook, bookworm and former boxer, who straddles the line between legal and illegal to solve crimes. He was created by the American mystery writer Robert B. Parker. He acts as the protagonist of a series of detective novels written by Parker. He is also featured in the 1980s television series Spenser: For Hire and a related series of TV movies based on the novels. In March 2020 he was featured in the Netflix thriller film Spenser Confidential.

This lot includes 14 of Parker's earlier novels that feature Spenser, his SO Susan Silverman and friend Hawk. Readers of Lawrence Block, Stuart Woods, Richard North Patterson, and Michael Brandman should enjoy these books.  They are great lunch-break reading, by-the-fireplace reading, before-bed reading, and in-the-waiting room reading. 

This lot also includes 2 Jesse Stone Books. Stone is a former LAPD homicide detective who resigned due to a drinking problem. He is hired as chief of police in the small town of Paradise, Massachusetts.  These books would be a great addition to the home libraries of fans of Michael Connelly, Ed McBain, John Sandford, Lee Child, and Sue Grafton.
