OrangeReviewStarAlas for fans, this is Spenser's final outing, as Parker died last January. Spenser is up against a wall when he's asked to investigate accusations that movie star Jumbo Nelson raped and murdered a young woman; Nelson has a well-deserved bad-boy reputation. But things get clearer—and nastier—after Spenser hooks up with Nelson's bodyguard, a former football player and Native American named Zebulon Sixkill. Readers will be lining up to say good-bye.
