Description:

Henry Cimoli and Spenser have been friends for years, yet the old boxing trainer has 
never asked the private eye for a favor. Until now. A heavy-handed developer is trying to 
buy up Henry's condo on Revere Beach and sends thugs to move the process along. Soon 
Spenser and his apprentice, Zebulon Sixkill, find a trail leading to a mysterious and 
beautiful woman, a megalomaniacal Las Vegas kingpin, and plans to turn to a chunk of land 
north of Boston into a sprawling casino. Bitter rivals emerge, alliances turn, and the 
uglier pieces of the Boston political machine look to put an end to Spenser's 
investigation.

Aspiration, greed, and twisted dreams all focus on the old Wonderland dog track where the 
famous amusement park once fronted the ocean. For Spenser and Z, this simple favor to 
Henry will become the fight of their lives.
