When I read a book, it is a full-emersion kind of experience for me. If it's a book about parkour, I'm reading all about
parkour. If it's about Mormonism, I'm reading all about
Mormonism. If it's about Zora Neal Hurston, I'm all over
Zora Neal Hurston. Even though
Spenser and Hawk did their share of
boxing, I never really got into learning more about it until I read
The Boxer and the Spy.
The Boxer and the Spy is supposed to be a YA book, but it is another one that is great for adult fans of Parker, too. Boxing plays a huge part in this murder mystery. Terry Novak and his almost-girlfriend, Abby are set on figuring it out. Great stuff. Why? Because nobody writes like the
Dean of American Crime Fiction.
