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
