A Spenser case tied to a famous podcaster

Vic Hale’s public image as a widely loved podcaster sits uneasily beside the dislike he inspires in Susan and Hawk. Spenser’s history with Vic’s father, Tommy, gives him a personal reason to take Vic’s request for help seriously. As Spenser investigates Vic’s past, the case turns on hidden history, danger to someone’s life, and whether an uneasy alliance can be trusted. The setup connects Spenser’s established personal debts with a mystery shaped by celebrity, reputation, and questions of identity.

Book overview

"Vic Hale is the biggest podcaster in the nation; he hates everybody, but is loved by millions. Susan and Hawk can't stand him but Spenser goes way back with Vic's father Tommy, and he believes it's all an act. So when Vic comes to Spenser for help, Spenser can hardly deny him. After all, he still owes Tommy for saving his life. But as Spenser unearths secrets from Vic's past, he realizes Vic isn't who he thought he was. And when he discovers that someone's life is at risk, Spenser might have no choice but to form an alliance with Vic--if only he can be trused"--Provided by publisher of regular-sized print edition.
