Robert B. Parker: Rough Weather (USA 2008) From the Publisher: Heidi Bradshaw is wealthy, beautiful, and well connected -and she needs Spenser's help. In a most unlikely request, Heidi, a notorious gold digger recently separated from her latest husband, recruits the Boston P.I. to accompany her to her private island, Tashtego. The reason? To attend her daughter's wedding as a sort of stand-in husband and protector. Spenser consents, but only after it is established that his beloved Susan Silverman will also be in attendance. It should be a straightforward job for Spenser: show up for appearances, have some drinks, and spend some quality time with Susan. But when Spenser's old nemesis Rugar-the Gray Man-arrives, Spenser realizes that something is amiss. A storm, a kidnapping, and murder tear apart what should be a joyous occasion, and Rugar is seemingly at the center of it all. The only thing is that the sloppy kidnapping is not Rugar's style-as Spenser knows from past encounters. With six dead bodies and more questions than he can process, Spenser begins a search for answers - and the Gray Man. With its razor-sharp dialogue, crisply etched characters, and high-wire narrative tension, Rough Weather once again proves that "Robert B. Parker is a force of nature" (The Boston Globe). Robert B. Parker: Rough Weather. A Spenser Novel. Putnam's, ISBN: 9780399155192 (October, 2008), 294 p., $26.99
