by Robert B. Parker
CDROM AUDIO BOOK, 5 CDs UNABRIDGED, Run Time: 6 hours
The celebrated Spenser Series continues as a troubled teenager accused of a horrific crime draws Spenser into one of the most desperate cases of his career.
Lily Ellsworth, the grand dame of Dowling, Massachusetts, hires Spenser to investigate her grandson Jared Clark's alleged involvement in a school shooting. Though seven people were killed in cold blood, and despite Jared's being named as a co-conspirator by the other shooter, Mrs. Ellsworth is convinced of her grandson's innocence..
Lily Ellsworth is erect, firm, white-haired, stylish, and known as the grand dame of Dowling, Massachusetts. She possesses an iron will and a bottomless purse. When she hires Spenser to investigate her grandson Jared Clark's alleged involvement in a school shooting, Spenser is led into an inquiry that grows more harrowing at every turn. Jared's parents are resigned to his fate, and the boy himself doesn't seem to care whether he goes to prison for a crime he might not have committed, but Mrs. Ellsworth is convinced of her grandson's innocence.
