The Judas Goat/Looking For Rachel Wallace/Early Autumn

Description for THE JUDAS GOAT/LOOKING FOR RACHEL WALLACE/EARLY AUTUMN by Robert B Parker:

The Judas goat: Spenser has gone to London, and not to see the Queen. He's gone to track down a bunch of bombers who've blown away his client's wife and kids. His job is to catch them. Or kill them. His client isn't choosy. But there are nine killers to one Spenser, long odds. Hawk helps balance the equation. The rest depends on a wild plan. Spenser will get one of the terrorists to play Judas Goat, to lead him to others. Trouble is, he hasn't counted on her being very blond, very beautiful and very dangerous.

Looking for Rachel Wallace: Rachel Wallace is a woman who writes and speaks her mind. She has made a lot of enemies, enemies who threaten her life. Spenser is the tough guy with a macho code of honor, hired to protect a woman who thinks that code is obsolete. Privately, they will never see eye to eye. That's why she fires him. But when Rachel vanishes, Spenser rattles skeletons in blue-blooded family closets, tangles with the Klan and fights for her right to be exactly what she is. He is ready to lay his life on the line to find Rachel Wallace.

 Early Autumn: TV reporter Candy Sloan has eyes the color of cornflowers and legs that stretch all the way to heaven. She also has somebody threatening to rearrange her lovely face if she keeps on snooping into charges of Hollywood racketeering. Spenser's job is to keep Candy healthy until she breaks the biggest story of her career. But her star witness has just bowed out with three bullets in his chest, two tough guys have doubled up to test Spenser's skill with his fists, and Candy is about to use her own sweet body as live bait in a deadly romantic game--a game that may cost Spenser his life. 

This is #5, 6, & 7 in Spenser Series.
