A Catskill Eagle (A Spenser Mystery)

In the detective business, Spenser sometimes has to bend the law. Other times, to break it. But he lives by his own inviolate rules.
But when Susans desperate letter arrives, Spenser doesnt think twice. His best friend, Hawk, faces a life sentence. And the woman he loves has gotten herself into even bigger trouble. Now Spenser has to free them both . . . even if it means breaking his own rules to do it.
