Mystery and suspense series based on Robert Parker's "Spenser" novels. Spenser, a private investigator living in Boston, gets involved in a new murder mystery each episode.
Spenser, who prides himself on his code of ethics, fights a seemingly hopeless battle to prove he is not a blackmailer preying on victims -- all of whom are among his ex-clients.
Was an old friend's death an accident or murder? Spenser doesn't think so, until he and Hawk unravel the man's secret past, which is tied to gunrunning.
