Sinopsis

The Boston PI agrees to an interview in this entertaining blend of short story and biographical profile by the legendary mystery author.   Spenser and his psychologist girlfriend, Susan, are relaxing in a courtyard on a lovely June afternoon. But accompanying them is Susan’s friend Amy, and she’s got a project: a book examining the men in risky professions—cops, firemen, special forces soldiers . . . and PIs. Requesting some help in her research, she peppers Spenser with questions. This short work by the New York Times–bestselling author of the Spenser series follows the stories he tells in his inimitable style, on topics ranging from his childhood to his personal relationships to, most intriguingly, what gets him up every morning to take on the bad guys once again.   “The toughest, funniest, wisest, private eye in the field.” —Houston Chronicle   “Spenser probably had more to do with changing the private eye from a coffin-chaser to a full-bodied human being than any other detective hero.” —Chicago Sun-Times  Previously published in the collection In Pursuit of Spenser

    Maria, Alex and Antonio Capello were raised by their gangster father with just one rule: family is everything. Now he’s dead, Maria works as a lawyer by day and a mob boss by night: risking everything if her secret life is ever revealed. 
     
    She trusts her smart, suave, dependable brother, Alex with her life, but it breaks her heart that she can’t say the same about Antonio. As the black sheep of the family, Antonio is here for a good time, not a long time. 
     
    So when the head of another firm visits with news about Antonio causing problems in the grimy underworld of London’s Soho, Maria is furious. Of course she wants to protect her baby brother, but he just made an enemy of one of the deadliest families in London. If she doesn’t act now, all hell will break loose. 
     
    But Maria and Alex have no idea that Antonio has already taken his bad behaviour to the next level. He’s broken every rule they’ve ever lived by. Maria finds herself with a decision to make – look out for the firm or protect Antonio and risk everything her father built going up in flames. Can the Capellos survive, or will bad blood kill them off for good?
