Robert B. Parker’s Angel Eyes (A Spenser Novel) by Ace Atkins is Coming!

I read my first Spenser novel, The Godwulf Manuscript, sometime back in the mid-70’s.  My grandfather passed the paperback on to me.  From that point on I was a die hard Spenser / Robert B. Parker fan.  Every year a new Spenser novel came out and it was like catching up with an old friend.

When Robert B. Parker died in 2010 I was afraid that Spencer had died as well.  I was pleased to learn that novelist Ace Atkins had been selected to carry on Spenser’s adventures.  Spenser was in great hands and the series continued to be a favorite.

On November 19th, a new Spenser novel, Angel Eyes will be released.  Here’s the synopsis…

In the latest thriller featuring the legendary Boston PI, Spenser heads to the City of Angels to meet old friends and new enemies in a baffling missing person case that might shake Tinseltown to its core.

Ellie Sharp left her Boston family with big dreams of making it as an actress in Hollywood. But two years later, she disappears from her Silver Lake apartment without her friends or police knowing what happened. Soon after the Sharps hire Spenser to find her, another person goes missing–this time Spenser’s protege-turned-L.A. investigator, Zebulon Sixkill.

Spenser and Hawk must hit the ground running on the West Coast to follow a twisted trail into the world of drug cartels, casting couches, hedonistic parties, and a whisper network of industry players looking to take down a legendary producer. In a town where glitz and glamour are only a thin veneer over a dangerous underbelly, even Spenser will have his work cut out for him.

I can’t wait.  My pre-order is in!
