A hurricane hinders a kidnapping and Spenser goes on a
search for the man responsible- the infamous Gray Man, who
has both helped and hunted Spenser in the past.
Heidi Bradshaw is wealthy, beautiful, and well connected -
and she needs Spenser's help. In a most unlikely request,
Heidi, a notorious gold digger recently separated from her
latest husband, recruits the Boston P.I. to accompany her
to her private island, Tashtego. The reason? To attend her
daughter's wedding as a sort of stand-in husband and
protector. Spenser consents, but only after it is
established that his beloved Susan Silverman will also be
in attendance.
It should be a straightforward job for Spenser: show up for
appearances, have some drinks, and spend some quality time
with Susan. But when Spenser's old nemesis Rugar-the Gray
Man-arrives, Spenser realizes that something is amiss. A
storm, a kidnapping, and murder tear apart what should be a
joyous occasion, and Rugar is seemingly at the center of it
all. The only thing is that the sloppy kidnapping is not
Rugar's style-as Spenser knows from past encounters. With
six dead bodies and more questions than he can process,
Spenser begins a search for answers-and the Gray Man.
