Hot Property

 Mike Lupica's Robert B. Parker's Hot Property is a book club selection.  Even though Robert B. Parker is gone, Mike Lupica continues writing in Parker's style.  Mmmm, couldn't Artificial Intelligence do the same?  

Typical of Parker's style, the action is fast, the dialogue is Boston Irish Mafia patter.
Friends of Parker are being shot at, and some have died.  What's up?  Attorneys, news reporters, politicians, and others associated with building a casino in Boston, have been attacked.  It involves a large amount of money.  Doesn't murder always have to do with money or love?

Spencer and his associate, Hawk, and his long-time girlfriend, Susan, are all in the story.  Spender aficionados will be pleased.
