Looking for Rachel Wallace - Paperback

by Robert B. Parker (Author)

"Crackling dialogue, plenty of action, and expert writing."--The New York Times

Rachel Wallace is a tough young woman with a lot of enemies.

Spenser is a tough guy with a macho code of honor, hired to protect a woman who thinks that kind of code is obsolete. Privately, they will never see eye to eye.

But when Rachel vanishes. Spenser is ready to lay his life on the line--to find Rachel Wallace.

"A rare kind of book."--Chicago Sun-Times

Front Jacket

Spenser is..."The sassiest, funniest, most-enjoyable-to-read-about private eye around today...the legitimate heir to the Hammett-Chandler-Macdonald tradition." --"The Cincinnati Post
Spenser is..."Tougher, stronger, better educated, and far more amusing than Sam Spade, Phil Marlowe, or Lewis Archer...Spenser gives the connoisseur of that rare combination of good detective fiction and good literature a chance to indulge himself." --"The Boston Globe
