Title: The early Spenser
Description: As its title indicates, this volume contains the first three Spenser novels. Hawk has not yet appeared, but Spenser, with his one liners and acerbic observations, solves three mysteries without too many clues. The novels have a human touch despite their trademark noir. Plenty of action, a dash of philosophy, and a thread of humour run through all of them.
Subjects: Fiction, Private investigators, Détectives, Romans, nouvelles
Places: Massachusetts, Boston, Boston (Mass.)
People: Spenser (Fictitious character)
