'Will captivate both longtime and soon-to-be-devoted Spenser lovers' Kirkus Reviews A local theatre director claims he is being followed. An actor is gunned down onstage.

If you've never read Robert B. Parker, welcome aboard. After Walking Shadow you'll have a lot of books to catch up on' New York Times Tougher, stronger, better educated, and far more amusing than Sam Spade, Phil Marlowe or Lewis Archer . . .
