[Spenser 01] • Enter Spenser

Whether you're new to the popular series by Robert B. Parker or a long-time fan of the Boston P. I., brush up on the cool sleuth's earliest adventures with Mystery Guild's exclusive 3 -in - 1 omnibus, Enter Spencer.   Robert B. Parker first introduces Spenser in The Godwulf Manuscript, when a university hires him to recover a rare, stolen manuscript.  Spenser's only clue is a radical student with four bullets in his chest, but he isn't so sure the pretty coed whose prints are on the murder weapon is the killer.  Can Spenser finish this assignment before he gets a "D" . . . for dead?   In God Save the Child, everyone thinks Kevin Bartlett, a 14-year-old boy from a rich, dysfunctional family, has run away - until the ransom note arrives.  Spenser's only lead is Kevin's friend the body builder, and he isn't talking. . . except with his fists.  But when a boy's life is on the line, Spenser can speak that language, too.   Is Red Sox pitcher Marty Rabb throwing fast balls or throwing games?  And who's the blackmailer out to wreck his loving wife's life?  In Mortal Stakes, it doesn't take long for Spenser to link Marty's performance with Linda's past - or to find himself trapped between a crazed racketeer and an enforcer toting an M-16.
