    In Robert B. Parker's most popular series, an unsolved thirty-year-old-murder draws the victim's daughter out of the shadows for overdue justice—and lures Spenser into his own past, old crimes, and dangerous lives.

    Biography

    Featuring rapid-fire dialogue and spicy characters, Robert B. Parker's books are top-shelf reading for fans of detective crime novels. His Spenser series is several titles strong and an established classic; lately Parker has raised the stakes with two additional series (one featuring private eye Sunny Randle, the other featuring police chief Jesse Stone) that may eventually rival his beloved Boston P.I.

    July 01, 2007: Back Story makes easy summer reading read it and forget it. The dialogue, in an effort to be hip or cool or whatever today's word is, comes off stilted and hackneyed and even worse, as if Parker was trying too hard. Still, it's a pleasant mystery to spend a few hours with, but nothing great.

    March 11, 2007: I am sorry that I read this book, but I went with the rating. It does not measure up to any that I have read previously by this author. I have read about 10 titles. For me this book compares to the Jessie Stone series which I really dislike.
