      About This Book

      Pretty teenager April Kyle is in grown-up trouble, involved with people who'd beat her up for a dollar and kill her for five. Now she's disappeared, last seen in The Combat Zone, the side of Boston where nothing's proper, especially the sex for sale.

      Spenser's out to make war, not love. Teamed with his sidekick, Hawk, he'll take on the whole X-rated industry. From a specialty whorehouse in Providence to stylish Back Bay bordellos, he'll pit muscle and wit against bullets and brawn until he finds what he's looking for: April Kyle, little girl lost.
