Appie Knoll is the kind of suburb where kids grow up right. But something is wrong. Fourteen-year-old Kevin Bartlett disappears. Everyone thinks he's run away -- until the comic strip ransom note arrives. It doesn't take Spenser long to get the picture -- an affluent family seething with rage, a desperate boy making strange friends...friends like Vic Harroway, body builder.

I believe this to be the second in the Spenser series. Audible has released many of the early titles read by a favorite narrator, Michael Pritchard. We meet Susan Silverman and Healy (both of whom have cameo roles in the Stone series) for the first time as Spenser is hired to find a boy who has dis...
Kevin Bartlett has been kidnapped and it's up to Spenser to find him. But was he really kidnapped in the first place... ?The second Spenser book picks weeks after the first left off and does a good job fleshing out Spenser's character a bit more.
