Robert B. Parker's Kickback by Ace Atkins
4.0
4 stars for another enjoyable read in the Spenser series started by Robert B. Parker and now written by Ace Atkins with a license from Parker's estate. Atkins writes in Parker's style, short sentences, short chapters and a fast moving plot. I recommend this series to fans of the Spenser tv series. This book is number 43 in the series, but it can be read as a stand alone.
The narrative alternates between kids in a juvenile facility set on an island in the Boston harbor and Spenser as he takes on a case at the request of a mother who thinks her son has been unfairly sentenced to this facility for a minor offense that should that merited school detention at best.
Spenser investigates and is threatened by cops and thugs, because there is a web of corrupt cops, judges and mobsters who don't want their profitable scheme to end.
I read this library book in 2 days.
