Product Description
The Godwulf Manuscript introduces the most attractive and resourceful private investigator since Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe and proves that crime in Boston can be quite as lively and sinister as crime in Los Angeles. When Spenser is hired to recover a fourteenth-century manuscript stolen from the university library, his investigations lead him to the Student Committee Against Capitalist Exploitation and to its secretary, Terry Orchard. Terry, living in a state of chronic rebellion against convention and her rich and prominent parents, will cooperate with no one representing the establishment. But when her boy friend is killed and she is framed for the murder, she calls for Spenser. Spenser's determination to clear Terry brings him into conflict with the Boston Police - who want no interference from an insolent private eye, with the university that hired him but wants no part of a murder case, and with the Mafia. In the face of two more murders and attempts, first to frighten and then to kill him, Spenser persists, until all the truths are told.
