A client from a decades-old case reaches out to Boston PI
Spenser-but can he rescue troubled April Kyle once more?

When a mature, beautiful, and composed April strides into
Spenser's office, the Boston PI barely hesitates before
recognizing his once and future client. Now a well-
established madam herself, April oversees an upscale call-
girl operation in Boston's Back Bay. Still looking for
Spenser's approval, it takes her a moment before she can
ask him, again, for his assistance. Her business is a
success; what's more, it's an all-female enterprise.
Now that some men are trying to take it away from her, she
needs Spenser.

April claims to be in the dark about who it is that's
trying to shake her down, but with a bit of legwork and a
bit more muscle, Spenser and Hawk find ties to organized
crime and local kingpin Tony Marcus, as well as a scheme to
franchise the operation across the country. As Spenser
again plays the gallant knight, it becomes clear that
April's not as innocent as she seems. In fact, she may be
her own worst enemy.
