SynopsisBoston PI Spenser investigates the perfect murder in this New York Times bestselling mystery in Robert B. Parker's acclaimed series. She was a model wife and mother, bludgeoned with a hammer on the streets of Beacon Hill. Spenser's searching for a motive and a murderer--and finding more secrets than meet the eye... "Among the best Spensers...Parker's at the top of his game "-- Boston Globe, With the first publication in English of Trozas, B. Traven's legendary Jungle Novels, an epic of the birth of the Mexican Revolution, are complete. Trozas is the fourth of the six Jungle Novels that describe the conditions of peonage and debt slavery under which Mexican Indians suffered during the reign of Porfirio Daz. The main character of the novel is a young Indian named Andrs Ugaldo, a virtual slave worker in a monterae"-mahogany plantatione"which is purchased by the profit ?hungry Montellano brothers, widely despised for their brutal treatment of workers. The demands on Andrs and his companions exceed even the usual insufferable conditions in the montera. Trozas (the word means "logs") captures the origins of the rebellious spirit that slowly spread through the labor camps and haciendas, culminating in the bloody revolt that ended Daz's rule. Traven masterfully evokes the backbreaking daily routine of the montera, brings alive the players in this sordid drama, and tells the story in riveting narrative., Boston PI Spenser investigates the perfect murder in this New York Times bestselling mystery in Robert B.
