"When Spenser is approached by Walter Clive, president of Three Fillies Stables, to find out who is threatening his horse Hugger Mugger, he can hardly say no: He’s been doing pro bono work for so long his cupboards are just about bare. Disregarding the resentment of the local law enforcement, Spenser takes the case. Though Clive has hired a separate security firm, he wants Spenser to supervise. And Spenser can’t help being intrigued by Clive’s daughter Penny—one of the Three Fillies—who has an insider’s knowledge of the horse world, a deceptively charming air, and a great pair of legs herself. . . . But the case takes a deadly turn when the attacker claims a human victim, and Spenser must revise his opinion of the whole Three Fillies organization—and watch his own back as well."

Spine slanted, minor shelfwear. DJ in protective cover taped to boards. Ex-lib w/ usual stamps, back endpaper removed. A bright, attractive copy. "Boston P.I. Spenser returns—heading west to the rich man’s haven of Potshot, AZ, a former mining town reborn as a paradise for Los Angeles millionaires looking for a place to escape the pressures of their high-flying lifestyles. When this western idyll is threatened by a local gang—a 21st century posse of desert rats, misfits, drunks, and scavengers—the local police seem powerless. Led by a charismatic individual known only as The Preacher, this motley band of thieves selectively exploits the town, nurturing it as a source of wealth while systematically robbing the residents blind. Enter Spenser, who has been hired by the comely Mary Lou Buckman to investigate the murder of her husband. Calling on his own cadre of tried-and-true cohorts, including Vinnie Morris, Bobby Horse, Chollo, Bernard J. Fortunato, Tedy Sapp, and the redoubtable Hawk, Spencer must find a way to beat the gang at their own dangerous game."

| 3. | Parker, Robert B. Thin Air (Spenser Thriller Ser.)
New York, NY, U.S.A. G.P. Putnam's Son's 1995 3rd Printing Hard Cover Very Good Very Good Ex-Library 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
Ex-library with usual stamps and markings. Corners slightly bumped, shelf-cocked. Jacket shows slight edge wear. "When a Boston police detective's adored young bride, Lisa St. Claire, disappears without a trace, he enlists Spenser's help in tracking her down. Sleuthing from a New England college campus to the slick sports clubs of L.A., Spenser discovers all about Lisa -- including her past history of prostitution, substance abuse, and self-destructive love affairs -- and suspects she is being held prisoner by her sociopathic Latino ex-lover in his crumbling tenement fortress deep within the barrio of a burned-out Massachusetts mill town.
Accompanied by a Chicano shooter with an ironclad attitude and an unflinching sense of honor, Spenser sets in motion a complex plan to rescue Lisa. As he wheels and deals with boozy, broken cops and messianic local warlords, he is forced to face some brutal truths and question the very meaning of passion, manhood, and justice."
