This is a pretty good Spenser P.I. adventure even though the ultimate villain isn't hard to spot and the intended victim appears to be a small time Hitler in many respects. As I said, Spenser doesn't expect perfection in the world. There are some interesting plot elements, but I don't want to give anything away. The overall cast is OK, but Spenser and Hawk are the show aided by an always angry Canadian police inspector. I rate it a "7".

Tepid P.I. mystery
helpless_dancer21 February 2000
Spenser and Hawk go off to Canada to nail the killers of an American tycoon's family. Along the way they uncover a plot to assassinate an African leader which ties in with their own investigation. I couldn't get interested in the show, it just floated along sluggishly. Parker's books are better.
