Bad Business Audiobook (Free)

When Marlene Cowley hires Spenser to see if her husband Trent is cheating on her, he encounters more than he bargained for: not only does he find a two-timing spouse, but another investigator as well, hired with the husband to provide for his wife. As a result of their joint efforts, Spenser soon discovers himself investigating both individual depravity and corporate and business corruption.

It seems the folks in the Cowleys’ group have grown to be enamored of radio talk show host Darrin O’Mara, whose views on Courtly Like are clouding some already fuzzy minds with the notion of cross-connubial romantic relationships. O’Mara’s make of sex therapy is certainly unconventional at greatest, unlawful–and deadly–at worst. Then a murder at Kinergy, where Trent Cowley is normally CFO, transmits Spenser in just one more direction. Apparently, the unfettered quest for profit includes a price.

With razor sharp characterizations and finely honed prose, that is Parker in the height of his power.
