The Professional is near the end of the Spenser series by Robert B Parker. That is, it's near the end of the books written by Parker himself, although there have been a number of continuation titles by other authors, some of them pretty good IMO. In any case,
The Professional is £2.99 in the UK right now, and although it has been cheaper in the past, it has been many years...

Quote:
Private eye Spenser has never had any difficulty handling women. But when four stunningly beautiful trophy wives hire him to protect them against a blackmailer threatening to expose their infidelities, even he must admit that they look like trouble.
Tracking down Gary Eisenhower, the blackmailer and serial adulterer, isn't too difficult - but almost in spite of himself Spenser finds that he quite likes the guy. Certainly the women, with their loose purse-strings and looser morals, and their loveless marriages to rich, powerful, corrupt men, are hard to feel sorry for.
But a killing soon changes the complexion of the case, and draws Spenser into the world of Boston's moneyed aristocracy: a world of corruption, vice and murder. As the bodies start to pile up, Spenser must decide which of his friends he can trust.
