Promised Land is #5 of the Spenser mysteries by Robert B. Parker. The character Hawk who becomes Spenser's friend and ally appears here. Parker's skill with dialog does not show forth his Promised Land as well as it does in his later Spenser books. In Promised Land Spenser searches for a missing wife who doesn't want to be found and deals with loan sharks. (

Spenser, book4, takes a job to find a missing wife and has to save the family. (

A key issue in the long-running Spenser series.

Hawk starts to turn into a friend.

The relationship to Susan Silverman becomes, not more serious, but more well-defined into what we see in later books.

The story itself is beautifully done, not as one-dimensional as even some later Spenser stories, but reminding me of what Jim Butcher of the Dresden Files once said: if you have a proble, you have a problem. If you have multiple problems, you have a possible solution. (

Spenser is at his snarky best as he searches for a missing wife. His relationship with Hawk begins to really develop in this novel. (

Guys like Powers you can get with money, or the hope of it. Or fear if you're in a position to scare them. But people like Rose, they were hard. Zealots were always hard. Zeal distorts them. Makes the normal impulses convolute. Makes people fearless and greedless and loveless and finally monstrous. I was against zeal.
