Query: Dwindling Effort

As a former rabid fan of Robert Parker, especially the Spenser series, it saddens me to say that this book is just another of Parker's recent half-hearted efforts to put something in print. In Gunman's Rhapsody, he rehashes old plots and dialogues from print and movie script. The publisher, in collusion, allows it to go out with it's deceptive practice of meager word count, large font, and widely spaced lines. Robert Parker is tired folks. After so many great works, he doesn't seem to want to write anymore. Don't buy this book.
