Paper Doll - (Spenser) by Robert B Parker (Paperback)

About the Book

Olivia Nelson appears to be the perfect wife and mother. So why was the socialite bludgeoned to death with a hammer? The police say it was random violence; Olivia's husband hires Spenser to prove otherwise. But the truth turns out to be as elusive as needles in a haystack. It's a case where nothing is what it seems--not even the victim.
