著者は Robert B. Parker 私立探偵スペンサー・シリーズの七作目として1982年に
発刊された。 このシリーズは30冊続いたが、この作が最高傑作と評価している。
十五作目くらいまで新刊がでるたびに購入していたが、だんだん詰まらなくなって
最近はとんと読んでいなかった。 著者は昨年だったか亡くなっている。 改めて読み
返したが、当時の興奮をなつかしく思い浮かべた。 手ごろなボリュームと、難しい
言葉は使っていないようなので、四冊目として取り上げた。 育児放棄された少年
ポールがスペンサーの元で、本物の男として生きる術を学んでゆく過程が胸を
熱くする。 オーディオ・ブックは、CD版が見つからなかった。 しかしダウンロード版を
購入して ipadで聴いている。
