Synopsis

'I spotted the girl even before she knocked on my door.' Mattie Sullivan is not Spenser's typical client. For a start, she's just fourteen. Nor is her request a typical one - to take a case that's already been solved. But this kid is wiser than her years. And this case is less clear-cut, and far more dangerous, than it appears.

Media Reviews
Ace Atkins has proven an exceptionally talented writer.... Taking on the challenge of continuing the much-loved Spenser series is a daunting task. Ace Atkins responds with a knock-out punch in round one. Parker would most definitely approve.
-- Shelf Awareness

It's all there: The crisp, rhythmic sentences. The ironic banter. The distinctly Spenserian attitude toward life that Atkins adopted as his own. And yet, those who have read both Parker and Atkins closely may also detect a muted, indefinable quality that's pure Atkins. And that's a very good thing.... Parker lives. Spenser is back. --Bruce DeSilva, Edgar Award Winning author of Cliff Walk
It's the real deal. Atkins captures Parker's distinctive voice, the sardonic, self-deprecating, sharply observant first-person narration that makes the Spenser books so compelling, and so much fun. -- Tampa Bay Times
In Lullaby, Ace Atkins has brought back everything we love about Robert B. Parker's Boston P.I. Spenser, and he makes it look seamless and easy.... Atkins takes the reins of the Spenser series with self-assured ease. He also proves he's the right man for the job. --MysteryPeople.com
Handpicked by the Parker estate to be the keeper of the flame for the Spenser franchise, award-winning author Ace Atkins...rises flawlessly to the occasion. -- Kirkus Reviews

Lullaby is pure Spenser...pitch-perfect. -- BookReporter.com

Wisecrack-filled dialogue and...[a] vivid sense of place. Atkins succeeds...in a book that hits all the usual Spenser notes. --Chicago Sun-Times

Atkins captures Parker's distinctive voice, the sardonic, self-deprecating, sharply observant first-person narration that makes the Spenser books so compelling, and so much fun...And best of all, it has Spenser...Lucky for us, he's not done yet. -- Tampa Bay Times

Even the most fanatical Parker fans would be hard pressed to identify any aspect of this Spenser novel that doesn't read as if it were penned by Spenser's late creator. --Publishers Weekly

A brisk read. --Boston Daily
