New York Times bestselling author of the Spenser series of crime thrillers - Book 2 in the series -Appie Knoll is the kind of suburb where kids grow up right. But something is wrong. Fourteen-year-old Kevin Bartlett disappears. Everyone thinks he's run away - until the comic strip ransom note arrives. It doesn't take Spenser long to get the picture - an affluent family seething with rage, a desperate boy making strange friends...friends like Vic Harroway, body builder. Mr. Muscle is Spenser's only lead and he isn't talking...except with his fists. But when push comes to shove, when a boy's life is on the line, Spenser can speak that language too."A brillant, and cynical, comic tragedy or tragic comedy of manners. Long may Parker wave." - Los Angeles Times | God The Child by Robert B. Parker, Mass Market Paperback | Indigo Chapters
