Harvey Shepards wife has run away. Spenser has been hired to find her. A seemingly easy mission: go to Cape Cod, find the missing woman, then sit back and enjoy the sun.

Both Pam and Harvey are in over their heads, and soon Spenser will be too. Promised Land won the Edgar Award for Best Novel in 1977. LOOKING FOR RACHEL WALLACE. The only reservation I have, Ticknor said, is the potential for a personality clash. Rachel Wallace is an outspoken feminist. Spenser, hired to protect her, is a heavy-handed wise-mouth. Left-wing lesbian meets muscles and machismo. Chalk meets cheese. It is not long before Rachel fires him. Then she disappears. Spenser feels it is his duty to save her. And once he has made up his mind then no bigot, Klansman, or family will get in his way. He will not stop until he finds Rachel Wallace. Author Biography Robert B.
