What is a BARGAIN Item?

Bargain items can be brand-new products that our buyers have purchased from publishers at incredibly low prices. We pass these savings - sometimes as much as 80% off an item's list price - along to you.

Bargain items can also be publisher overstocks or other special purchases, so there might be a few scratches, marks or dented corners. There might also be a sticker on the item from the publisher. Regardless, Books-A-Million does not ship defective items.

Our selection of bargain books changes hourly, and quantities are limited, so shop now and shop often. Due to unpredictable demand, it is possible for us to oversell the available quantity of a bargain item. In such cases, we will promptly cancel your order and your credit card will not be charged.

Bestseller Parker makes producing snappy banter look easy in his 37th Spenser novel (after Rough Weather). He also manages to draw new readers into the Boston PI's major personal relationships—with love interest Susan Silverman and friend/ally/bodyguard Hawk—without shoveling on the backstory. Spenser agrees to help a quartet of married women fend off extortion demands from stud Gary Eisenhower, with whom each has had an affair. Meanwhile, the husband of one of the women under blackmail threat hires some thugs to deal with the matter. The action takes its time getting to a dead body, but, as usual, the smooth, entertaining prose more than compensates for any deficiencies of plot. The absence of major personal developments for Spenser or his associates marks this as a less memorable entry than others in this iconic series, but it remains a solid, enjoyable contemporary detective novel. (Oct.)
