Promised Land is one of Robert Parker's best Spenser novels. Spenser and Susan Silverman are just getting started, and they explore why Spenser is a tough guy, what underlies the choices people make in relationships, and lots of other stuff.

One of the reasons [the Spenser novels] became so popular is that he's a thinking man's tough guy, and there's no shortage of thought here. No shortage of toughness, either; none of it really gratuitous. Plus, you have to like a guy who knows he's a wiseass, but still it doesn't keep him from mouthing off in the worst possible circumstances. What price self-knowledge?
