A Savage Place<\/em><\/a>, Audio Book (1981) Robert B. Parker<\/a> narrated by Michael Prichard (Spenser)<\/p>\n

\"Savage<\/a>Spenser gets a call from Rachel Wallace that she has recommended him to a reporter in California. She won’t tell him anything other than the woman will be calling soon.<\/p>\n

Candy Sloan is a reporter who wants to be more than a pretty face and sexy body. She wants to be taken seriously as a reporter, and says she has just the story to make her name: graft in the movie industry.<\/p>\n

But she’s received serious threats so the station is willing to pay for a bodyguard.<\/p>\n

There is a lot that happens here, much of which will affect Spenser for a long time to come. <\/p>\n

His restaurant with Susan is such that he doesn’t have a problem sleeping with other women, but is aware of the double standard he holds that the idea of Susan sleeping with someone else is something he isn’t ok with.<\/p>\n

Something important to remember about this book is that it was published in 1981, and the world was a very different place then, especially for women. Much of what happens comes from Candy pushing to be the one to break the story, to make her name.<\/p>\n

But the important part comes at the end, when Spenser is forced to realize he is not, in fact, Superman, and cannot, in fact, fix or solve everything.<\/p>\n

And the events of this book will echo for years (and several more books in the series).<\/p>\n
