Chasing the Bear: 
A Young Spenser Novel By Robert B. Parker


Review #11
Remember the TV series, Spenser For Hire? It was based on a series of books by Robert B. Parker about the tough, grown-up character, Spenser. 


 In this book, Spenser is asked about his youth by his girlfriend, Susan. In answer to her query, he reflects back to when he was fourteen years old and how he helped his best friend Jeannie when she was abducted by her abusive father. You will, also, get a glimpse of how he was raised by his father and uncles after the death of his mother. You will, definitely, get an idea of what made Spenser, Spenser!

It was written in 2009. It is a lite, easy read, 169 pages long (it took me about 3 hours to read).
