Broken Trust
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
Description
Spenser investigates the past secrets of an elusive tech billionaire in this latest installment of Robert B. Parker’s beloved series, and the first written by celebrated writer Mike Lupica.
Andrew Crain has it all: a brilliant scientist and astute businessman, his groundbreaking work with lithium has made him one of the world’s richest men. He is universally adored and admired; that is, until Crain’s beautiful wife, Laura, comes to Spenser hoping that he can find out what skeletons lurk in her husband’s closet. Though Crain is a generous philanthropist and loving family man, she is concerned—he has recently become secretive, bordering on paranoid, and prone to violent outbursts. This is the opposite of the man she knew, and not only does his behavior put their marriage at risk, but also a lucrative company merger that would be life-changing for the Crains, their business partner, and everyone associated. Laura wants Spenser to find out what has gotten into her husband, before it’s too late.
As Spenser digs into the billionaire’s past, he realizes that the man may have done terrible things on his rise to the top—but he also may have had good reason to. There are no clear answers here, and quickly enough, what Spenser discovers will cause him to question his own views on morality—and place him in grave danger.

November 1, 2023
Lupica, having already continued the sagas of Sunny Randall and Jesse Stone, takes the helm for the latest adventure of Parker's signature sleuth, with mixed results. "Laura Crain might have been the first dead client I ever had," Boston shamus Spenser reflects after his psychologist lover Susan Silverman's friend is found strangled in a Brookline park shortly after hiring him to find out what's bugging her husband. Whatever it is must be big, because scientist Andrew Crain's mastery of a process to produce synthetic lithium has made him the sixth-wealthiest man in the U.S., and when do billionaires ever have bad days? Spenser tries to question entrepreneur Ethan Lowe, Crain's best friend and partner in Lith, Inc.; Crain's executive assistant, Claire Megill; and even Crain himself. But they're a closemouthed bunch, and Crain actually runs out of a restaurant dinner he and Laura are having with Spenser and Susan. That's the last Spenser sees of Laura, and Crain seriously threatens his own company (which Lowe is hoping to steer into a lucrative takeover by a Canadian automaker) by disappearing, returning just in time to give a highly uninformative press conference and then firing Spenser, whom he'd never hired. Feeling honor-bound to get to the bottom of the mystery that so exercised his client, Spenser keeps on the case without pay, pausing only for repeated coyly described bouts of sex with Susan, and ends up uncovering enough skullduggery for two installments of this beloved franchise. This time, though, Lupica's addiction to multiplying subplots not only bulks up a tale that could have been slenderer but turns the big reveal into an endless series of confrontations with different malefactors to whom Spenser dispenses condign justice. Far too much of a good thing.COPYRIGHT(2023) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
