terrorists and earn their reward The Judas Goat had the most violence of any Spenser story yet He and Hawk go through the meat grinder, especially near the end There s no way the two of them would be able to leave the US after the trail of bodies they left across four countries If you ever wondered if Spenser and Hawk could throw lead with the best of them, wonder no longer Not only that, they didn t seem like super heroes in the process Spenser got shot in the ass, for God s sake The best part of this book, outside of the frequent gunfights, is the relationship between Spenser and Hawk As I ve said before, Hawk s Spenser s true soul mate, not Susan Silverman.Now that I ve mentioned Susan Silverman, why don t...I don t think Interpol would ever let Spenser and Hawk back into Europe

victim of a London explosion that killed his wife and two daughters But, although gravely injured, he got a good look at the nine right wing terrorists responsible, and gives Spenser forensic artist sketches to help him in his search Dixon s offer a generous expense account, which will be necessary to pursue this international terrorist cell, and 2500 dollars for each individual terrorist, dead

becoming alarmingly saccharine, but has not ...Wow, reviews have put me right off this.Lazy author Jaunt to London, and this book is the excuse Skipping to 6Spenser and Hawk do Europe on a dubious mission of revenge They leave quite a trail of bodies Wondering how they squared this with authorities in half a dozen countries was only one of the annoying plot oddities Still, it made for a diverting Sunday evening read.Content Rating PG for all the bodies.This is the 5th in the Spenser series, first published in 1978, the year I graduated High School I never heard of it back then.I liked to re name the Spenser books, but should this one be Spenser s Travels or Spenser Gets Shot In The Ass Spenser denies it, insisting variously that he received an injury to the upper thigh, the back of his lap, his hamstring It s a fun one, with lots of quips, and travels Spenser observes that one pseudo intellectual has sorted their books by size I like This is the 5th in the Spenser

a child I was mad because it wasn t actually about goats Now I am an adult who reads detective novels, so I am reading it.In Spenser s fifth adventure, the body count is rather high This case takes him to London, Amsterdam and Montreal Great late 70 s descriptions of the manner of dress back then This is also the first case, he asked Hawk for help backup Lots of beer consumed and wisecracks galore, as usual.Best Spenser yet.Spenser has to run off to Europe to chase down terrorists who killed his client s family It requires bringing Hawk along making it the adventure I enjoyed most in this series so far.
