I recently finished reading Angel Eyes, the latest Spenser novel by Ace Atkins. Robert Parker, the creator of that famous fictional private detective, passed away a number of years ago, but Parker's widow picked Atkins to continue the series. I think that Atkins has done a really good job of imitating Parker's style. This time, a friend of Susan Silverman, Spenser's significant other, hires him to travel to Los Angeles to locate her daughter, with whom she has lost contact. This he does, with explosive results. I was on the waiting list for this book forever, but while browsing in the downtown Denver Public Library's bookshop, found it on the shelf for $7.00, and figured what the hell. It was definitely worth the read.
