Customer review:"Among the best of Parker's novels, this is tough, funny and deeply addictive."
When Spenser's closest ally, Hawk, is brutally injured and left for dead while protecting bookie Luther Gillespie, Spenser embarks on an epic journey to rehabilitate his friend in body and soul. Hawk, always proud, has never been dependent on anyone. Now he is forced to make connections: to the medical technology that will ensure his physical recovery, and to reinforce the tenuous emotional ties he has to those around him.
Spenser quickly learns that the Ukrainian mob is responsible for the hit, but finding a way into their tightly knit circle is not nearly so simple. Their total control of the town of Marshport, from the bodegas to the police force to the mayor's office, isn't just a sign of rampant corruption, it's a form of arrogance that only serves to ignite Hawk's desire to get even. As the body count rises, Spenser is forced to employ some questionable techniques and even more questionable hired guns while redefining his friendship with Hawk in the name of vengeance.

Customer review:"a very interesting and exciting read, wonderful story line. Again I didn't want to put the book down."
Cathy is on her way to a job interview that she hopes will result in the start of a new life and independence from her controlling brother. But, being late and new to Seattle, she becomes flustered and crashes her car into a van driven by Mick Vandenholt. Shaken, she continues on to her interview, promising Mick that she'll return to the scene of the crime. When she blows the interview, Cathy is devastated and worries that she's lost her shot at her big break. When a case of mistaken identity casts Cathy in the role of Mick's girlfriend, Cathy finds herself unable (or perhaps, unwilling) to set the record straight. Mick has secrets of his own, and yet Cathy is attracted to him more than she wants to admit. Torn between Mick, her brother, and her own fears, Cathy's trip to Seattle catapults her into a series of events that will change her life, but exactly how much is up to her.

Product Description
Customer review:"Its a great read and shows truly what the human spirit is capable of. Enjoyed it immensely. "
On New Year's Eve, 2004, as 27-year-old former special forces soldier Ken Jones attempted the ascent of Moldoveanu, Romania's highest peak, he was caught in a horrific avalanche that tossed him back down the mountain, leaving him with severe injuries including a broken femur and a smashed hip socket. Alone in a snowy wilderness without any way of calling for help he knew his chances of survival were slim.
Darkness Descending is the harrowing and psychologically compelling account of the next four freezing days and nights as he dragged himself to safety, battling constantly with extreme pain, biting cold, and his own, often hallucinatory swings between hope and despair.
