Sixkill by Robert Parker
I was surprised and pleased to hear that there was a new Robert Parker "Spenser" novel coming out (because Parker died a year and a half ago). It's nice to have one more adventure with Spenser before he's gone for good. Though I do miss his sidekick Hawk, who has been MIA in the last two books.
In Sixkill, Parker introduces a new Hawk-like character called Zebulon Sixkill, a Cree Indian who first tries to beat up Spenser then becomes his protege. The case concerns a girl who dies under mysterious circumstances in the hotel room of a boorish actor named Jumbo Nelson.
As always, the story is good, the dialog is better. And I hope there are a few more of these Spenser novels in the pipeline.
