It's an older entry in the Spenser series, which I'd never read. Being a long time Spenser fan, I enjoyed this book too. Mystery with a sense of humor, good dialogue, and a page-turner. Spenser is hired to bodyguard a controversial lesbian author. After she fires Spenser, she is kidnapped. Spenser feels obliged to find her.
