The listing, Bad Business by Robert Parker has ended.
This is a hardcover book with the dustjacket and is in like new condition. I am the only one who has read it and it is a great story. There is a sticker on the upper right corner of the front cover.
A cheating husband and a wayward wife provide Spencer with an unconventional and dangerous surveillance job.
When Marlene Cowley hires Spenser to see if her husband, Trent, is cheating on her, he encounters more than he bargained for; he finds not only a two-timing husband, but a second investigator as well, hired by the husband to look after his wife. As a result of their jount efforts, Spenser soon finds himself investigating both individual depravity and corporate corruption.
It seems the folks in the Cowleys' circle have become enamored of radio talk-show host Darrin O'Mara, whose views on courtly love are clouding some already fuzzy minds with the notion of cross-connubial relationships. O'Mara's brand of sex therapy in unconventional at best, unlawful--and deadly--at worst. Then a murder at Kinergy, where Trent Cowley is CFO, sends Spencer in yet another direction. Apparently, the unfettered pursuit of profit has a price.
