Description
His name was Jason Green and he was dead. When a shy high school student’s body is found washed up on the shore of a quiet New England beach town–an alleged suicide linked to steroids–fifteen-year-old boxer-in-training Terry Novak isn’t quite sure what to think. Something just doesn’t add up. Artsy and withdrawn, Jason wasn’t exactly the type to be doing ’roids.
So Terry, with the help of his friend Abby, decides to do some investigating of his own. It doesn’t take long, though, before they learn that asking questions puts them in grave danger and that survival is going to be a fight.
Fortunately, Terry has learned a thing or two about fighting.

      • source: AudioFile Magazine
      • content: THE BOXER AND THE SPY, the second juvenile fiction title by veteran mystery novelist Parker, taps into many of the first-time feelings experienced by adolescents trying to find out who they are. Narrator Scott Brick plays each part with an emotional gravity that forces listeners to care and root for the characters. The shy, poetic boy's death by suicide just doesn't feel right to wannabe boxer Terry Novak and his could-be girlfriend, Abby, so they start to dig deeper into the illegal steroids trade in their small town, ruffling feathers and falling in love. Brick matches Parker's perfect pacing and pressure-packed action scenes, proving once again he's a "golden voice" to follow. R.O. (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
