Summary
Spenser, the tough-guy private eye from Boston, investigates Dwayne Woodcook, an arrogant athlete whom the directors of Taft University suspect is shaving points in basketball games
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Spenser smells corruption in a college town. Taft University's hottest basketball star is shaving points for quick cash. All manner of sleaze -- from corrupt academics to hoods with graduate degrees -- have their fingers in the pot.
Spenser's search takes him from lecture halls to blue collar bars and finally into a bloody confrontation with almost certain death. But Spenser saves an arrogant young athlete -- even though it nearly kills him to do it.
"Spenser is a tough as they come and spiked with a touch of real class." (Kirkus Reviews)
