A hunt for a stolen painting turns into a murder investigation for Spenser, Robert B. Parker's legendary private eye.
Spenser wird von dem Kunstprofessor Ashton Prince engagiert, um bei der Lösegeldübergabe für ein geraubtes Gemälde zu helfen. Zunächst verläuft die Übergabe reibungslos- bis eine Bombe explodiert, bei welcher der Professor sein Leben verliert. Den Mord an einem seiner Klienten kann Spenser natürlich nicht tatenlos hinnehmen und so beginnt er zu ermitteln. Es stellt sich heraus, dass Professor Prince seinen hübschen jungen Studentinnen Nachhilfe gab, allerdings nicht nur der akademischen Art. Doch ist das ein Mordmotiv?
A hunt for a stolen painting turns into a murder investigation for Spenser, Robert B. Parker's legendary private eye.
Private Detective Spenser is on his easiest job yet. Art professor Ashton Prince has hired him to help recover a stolen painting. The thieves will return it in exchange for a ransom. All Spenser has to do is accompany Prince, just in case. And collect his fee.
But, as Prince walks away from the exchange towards Spenser's car carrying the wrapped painting, it explodes. Prince is gone, and with him, Spenser's cash.
Starting to investigate, Spenser discovers Prince's past is far from squeaky clean, but nothing warrants going to such unusual lengths to kill him. Who did it, and why?
