Parker's Spenser series. J.C. Barr This book is not quite so full of the wisecracks I have come to know and love when reading books with Spenser as the main character, but on the other hand, it does contain quite a bit about Spenser's significant other, Susan, and even better, his assistant, if that is the way to describe him, Hawk. Hawk is huge, very strong and fit, totally l. "One of the best dialogues between Hawk and Spenser" according to Howard S.. OK so this is the 2nd or One of the best dialogues between Hawk and Spenser OK so this is the 2nd or 3rd time I've read Back Story and it gets better every time.
