![]() ![]() Sometimes you have to live down to people’s expectations, Kate. “My momma always said the best way to get what you want from people is to give them what they think they want. And the restless dead, it would seem, are the least of her problems. But when families around Baltimore County begin to go missing, Jane is caught in the middle of a conspiracy, one that finds her in a desperate fight for her life against some powerful enemies. Almost finished with her education at Miss Preston’s School of Combat in Baltimore, Jane is set on returning to her Kentucky home and doesn’t pay much mind to the politics of the eastern cities, with their talk of returning America to the glory of its days before the dead rose. After all, not even being the daughter of a wealthy white Southern woman could save her from society’s expectations.īut that’s not a life Jane wants. It’s a chance for a better life for Negro girls like Jane. But there are also opportunities-and Jane is studying to become an Attendant, trained in both weaponry and etiquette to protect the well-to-do. In this new nation, safety for all depends on the work of a few, and laws like the Native and Negro Reeducation Act require certain children attend combat schools to learn to put down the dead. Jane McKeene was born two days before the dead began to walk the battlefields of Gettysburg and Chancellorsville-derailing the War Between the States and changing America forever. ![]()

It's a shame Parker recently passed away, good thing he wrote more than 30 Spenser books. That reminded me of the short-lived ABC show "Life on Mars" with Jason O'Mara and Harvey Keitel a year or two ago. An added plus, was what a great job Parker did of making the times come alive. As was the Boston/Cambridge area- makes me want to visit to see everywhere it took place. I missed Hawk and Susan, but all the humor, action, and suspense were all there. This was Parker's first Spenser book and it was a lot closer to Humphrey Bogart in a Raymond Chandler novel than the Robert Urich TV series. His first-person recital of his detective work makes for fast, amusing reading." (The Pittsburgh Press) ![]() ![]() "Spenser is Boston's answer to James Bond - irreverent, witty, worldy. He tackles some very heavy homework and knows that if he doesn't finish his assignment soon, he could end up marked "D" - for dead. The cops are ready to throw the book at the pretty blond coed whose prints are all over the murder weapon but Spenser knows there are no easy answers. He is hardly surpised that his only clue is a radical student with four bullets in his chest.
