Potshot (Spenser)

Amazon.com

Maybe Spenser's driven all the bad guys out of Boston. Which is too bad because on his home ground, the tough and tender PI and Hawk, his trusty sidekick, don't need a gang of other guys to do their work. And the hired guns they round up to help them clean out a nest of ne'er-do-wells who have the desert town of Potshot, Arizona, terrified aren't nearly as amusing as, say, John Dortmunder's criminal colleagues in Donald Westlake's caper novels.

The thugs who populate the Dell, a scrubby little enclave just outside of town, have the locals in their pocket, which is why the pretty blonde who hires Spenser to find whoever killed her husband points him toward the Preacher, who rules the Dell and its denizens. But Spenser's not as certain as his client that Steve Buckman died at the Preacher's hands. As our hero and his ethnically diverse but politically incorrect henchmen (one gay shooter, one Latino, one black, one Native American--all that's missing is Annie Oakley) investigate, it turns out that Spenser's right, as usual. The action ranges from Las Vegas to L.A., Atlanta to New Mexico, but much of it is a humdrum travelogue as Spenser rounds up his gang from all over the country to take on the Preacher and his musclemen. While Potshot isn't one of Robert B. Parker's best, it's still not bad. The one or two lines devoted to introducing Spenser's backup buddies don't begin to do any of them justice, and there's a lot more description of the artillery the guys pack than usual. But they do fill up the white space, and when the action lags, there's always Susan's dirty talk, shopping jones, and dietary obsessions to divert the reader. There's a midlife crisis somewhere in this evergreen series that's just waiting to erupt. Whether it's Spenser's, Susan's, or Parker's, however, remains to be seen. --Jane Adams

Book Description

The town of Potshot, Arizona, is under siege by a band of murderous marauders, and the law is helpless to stop them. But now there's a new gun in town-Boston P.I. Spenser-and he's gathered a posse of the best and baddest to back him up.

"Parker still finds clever ways to invigorate his Spenser series." ( Entertainment Weekly)

Sam Adams Anyone?.......2007-09-12

This is actually a great book! The reason for the one-star will become known soon. I'm not sure Parker is drinking too much Sam Adams (There is a G-d) or I'm not drinking enough when I purview this dribble. Since I was a teenager about twenty years ago, my friends and I still delight in passing around his books and making fun of them. From his books, we can drive around Boston since he gives such detailed directions of each turn of his car and I can cook some nice recipes learned from Spenser's magically stocked refrigerator. I haven't figured out how he affords food when in most books, he charges his clients $1.00 to solve the case. A Spenser economics books would be welcome.
Anyway, on to my review of this book. I got it because I am in the middle of a lot of things and wanted a momentary distraction from time to time and needed a book I could pick up, read a few pages, put down and forget. A Parker book all the way!
Now, for you long time devotees like myself (Parker peaked at Catskill Eagle, by the way) let us not forget that Parker and Hawk go back to the Korean War. Say, Parker and Hawk joined up at the age of 18 in 1952 and spent one year there until it ended and this book was published in 2001, that would make them both 68 years old.
Keep that in mind when you read on how all the women drool over Spenser in this book and he can beat up two guys in their 20s. From there on in, Spenser does his amazing work by sitting in a big house in a desert with a bunch of toughs that just say 'OK' when Spenser says 'I need you, drop everything.' He makes a few phone calls while drinking a lot of beer and gets all law enforcement, civil servants and even the FBI to do all his detective work. It's good to know Fedex comes out to remote areas of the desert overnight. Next time I go hiking and get in a bind, I'll be sure to have a satellite phone and order up a few cases of Deer Park and pizza, Fedexed overnight. All I can say is that these guys are tougher than me. If I was in the house with them and all their gay jokes, short jokes, and ethnic jokes of middle school cleverness, I would have run out and asked the bad gang to shoot me.
Anyway, I hope you read it and enjoy these books like I enjoy John Woo movies. If you want the tip on that one, just know that every thing you see in a Woo movie will blow up. So, now you can watch the Woovie with friends and just place bets on when the helicopter, building, mine, train, plane will explode..ok, now I'm digressing. Read this book to pass around and have some laughs about later like all his books. Parker spreads joy this way. Bless you, Parker. Keep them coming! Next book, I want a 75 year old Spenser, who is better looking, benches sets of 400, beats up mafia hitmen, and quickdraws multiple attackers.
Happy reading!!!

Wild, wild west.......2007-08-19

When a gang of thugs runs rough-shod over a town and a nice lady comes to Spenser to ask for help finding out who murdered her husband, Spenser finds himself in Potshot, a small town in the desert. It is never made really clear whether it is in California or Nevada or Arizona or where exactly in the desert it is, but apparently there is an abandoned mine nearby and a gang of thugs has taken over the mine as their base of operations (they call themselves the Dell) and now they own the town, selling "protection" to the businesses and using the services of the town as they wish. Spenser quickly realizes things are not as they seem; after bracing Preacher (the leader of the Dell), Spenser believes the Dell are not responsible for the murder, at least, and he heads to LA to try to find out more about the murder victim and his wife, as well as some of the other members of the community.

Spenser ends up gathering a few of his friends to join him back in Potshot, so we are treated to a rare gem when our old friends Hawk, Vinnie Morris, Chollo, Bobby Horse and Bernardo J. Fortunato as well as a new friend - Tedy Sapp - are all gathered together in one place. The witticisms are thick on the ground when everyone is in one place. I believe that alone makes this one of my favorites in the Spenser series. Not to be missed!

Parker gets worse as he gets older - zero stars.......2007-05-19

This is a zero star Spenser. The "good" bad gang VS the "bad" bad gang. Odds are 40 bad bads against 7 good bads. But the FBI and unknown spooks are FedEx'ing printouts of phone and bug taps of the "worst" bad guys. 40-7 ... we need this band of 7 in Iraq. This is more than childish leg-pulling by the author - it's actually disrespectful of Parker to serve out this as Spenser material to anyone who can read. Hawk personally bows his head in shame at being written into this dribble.

Unsatisfying.......2006-02-09

These days, reading a Spenser mystery is like reading a comic book, which is OK -- I usually read them like candy after I read something really good. But Potshot wasn't even as entertaining as most comic books. The plot and the action were a tease -- neither went anywhere. And the ending was totally lame. For a similar but better book try Lee Child's Echo Burning. I love his descriptions of the desert and the heat, and his hero, Reacher, actually beats up the bad guys (fun!) and doesn't need to get his girlfriend and a bunch of his friends to tell us how wonderful he is.

Gutsy Globules of Gourmet Butter, Freshest Herbs In the Pot. Spensaaaah!.......2005-11-01

What shivered my soul with literary delight upon first slipping into Parker's prose rhythm, was that his style was so smooth, his silky-jazz dialogue was so down pat, a globule of gourmet butter would slather all over itself in syncopated ecstasy. The lines on the pages of POTSHOT are so perky they seem to effervesce into the ether as each page is turned. So, what's effervescent about butter? What does a perfect croissant do to the tongue? Answer me that before you call my metaphors mixed (though you'd be right).

I was surprised that very little similarity seems to exist between the TV series "Spenser For Hire" and Parker's prose-posh PI. To me, Spenser appears to have been designed in the image of his creator.

Though Robert Ulrich is a handsome devil who can easily flaunt a may-care attitude to drool for, his physical presence seems too artistically sensitive, not bearish enough, not dry-leathery enough, not quite heavyweight-renaissance enough. Ulrich's personality-ambiance is too pretty-guy-gorgeous to be Parker's gritty, gutsy Spencer. Now I see why Parker is reported to have been originally disappointed with the casting for the TV series. Ulrich did have A Voice, though, and a nonchalance, and yeah, I mean he's drop-dead-gorgeously smooth. I loved the TV series. I had no questions about Ulrich being Spenser, until I read Potshot. Now, though Ulrich is a class act on his own, I can't make myself see him as the P.I. in Parker's novels.

I wonder if Parker's photo was as prevalent on the book cover jackets when Ulrich was cast, as it is now?

In any case, now we have two great, classic P.I. series primed by two very different Spensers. Such a deal. Such a guy. Why shouldn't his ID do a stock split?

And what about Joe Mantega (Montanga?) A&E Channel? I don't know. Haven't seen that one. Now I'm hugely curious about it. I'm even more curious about reading more of Parker's Spenser novels, armed with the amazingly meaty reviews here on Amazon on this complexly intriguing series.

Loved the scene of the hard-guy sidekicks on the veranda all voting yes to work for Mary Lou without pay.

As the suspect who pops to mind first in every character's spontaneous uttering, Lou leaves a never ending trail of a light scent of fresh soap, no sweat. She's one of the most classic characterizations of the true and wholesome appeal in the feminine mystique. I have to admit that, viewed through Spenser's clear vision, Lou fleshes out to be even more wholesome feeling than Susan, God love `em both. Yet, Lou remains the main suspect in everyone's mind (Cherchez la femme), even as they're willing to move the earth (desert in this case) for her.

The culprit exposure and criminal resolution in this gourmet among PI series definitely does not disappoint, and is as unexpectedly convoluted as it is too simply true to life.

Absolutely loved the gang-of-seven caricaturing themselves into stereotypes of a yummy variety of ethnic macho beauties. Even the gorgeous gay guy gave high entertainment as a stud. Not at all meaning to slight the original, I'm pushed to prose that Parker's male menagerie is a good match for the chutzpah of "The Magnificent Seven." A couple times I questioned the realism of this gang getting along so well, but each question was met with a visceral feeling that they just would. Is Spenser's integrity the glue? Is it the common denominators these mavericks share? Do true mavericks recognize and relish each other automatically? I'm not certain why, but, for me, the menagerie mixing effortlessly worked.

Man, what an author! Whew. Gimme MORE of this literary creme! Butter beware. You have competition. No cholesterol intended. (Compelled to honesty, I should note that I believe cholesterol is a vital necessity to health of heart, soul, and brain. Give me flavor or hear me roar.)

I enjoyed reading Publishers Weekly's rave, "...even when Parker resorts to a bit of gimmickry, as he does here, the vitality of his storytelling prevails."

The 1st Spotlight Review I read, by Marc Ruby, Top 10 Reviewer, also does justice to the point: "I've read all of Parker's Spenser novels, and this will rank as one of the most memorable. Certainly it's one of the most entertaining. Parker has again managed to write a rich and compelling novel in a genre noted more for its excesses than its quality of writing."

That's a mouthful of straight syntax spewed well. I agree absolutely with PW and Ruby, with the exception that this is my first Spenser novel. Was also impressed with every word of Kent Braithewaite's Spotlighted review, and others, but don't have room to list all of them, what with my compulsion to spout epistles.

How sad, though, that when a few fans of a series meet something off the track from what has developed as addictive attractions for them in a series, they're compelled to post ripping reviews. Is there no Karma for spewing sour? No compassion involved, either. Yet, I understand too well how compelling honesty is, especially when it's slivered into true disappointment of not getting what one has come to crave. The only feeling more compelling than the need to do a public primal hiss, would be knowing first hand how it feels to have a personal creation used as a bidet.

At first I noticed that most of the rips were on cozies by female authors, or sensitive male writers like Nicholas Sparks. Then I visit this page and notice Potshots from fans are taken at a no-doubt male author, too. Oh.

I believe in free speech, which gives us the right to constantly choose whether to rip or rave. I find it interesting to observe on Amazon the absolute conflict in reviews which expose that different readers loved or hated exactly the same quality in a novel. Ripping reviews are often riveting, rarely boring, and the release given to the writer is SUCH a blessed relief. I don't have to say how I know this.

My problem is that I cringe for the author when it feels like the compulsion turns vicious, in expressing expectations unmet. This situation continues to be a conundrum for me, especially when I receive firsthand feedback about how sensitive most authors are to ripping reviews. So, what's the answer, when you're in the limelight ya gotta expect and be ready for the raw egg hits?

I've been working on armoring my skin now for 2 decades in my career as a novelist. It's a problem growing older, though, even as maturity attempts to idle-down the hormonal chaos of youth. Skin stretches thinner over brittling bones, hair takes a hike, and WHY doesn't body fat follow suit? I know. It's my craving for butter. And creme.

Aw, enough already!

In conclusion, since I included Parker's Spenser series, along with Rex Stout's Wolfe, in my culinary mystery Listmania, I was relieved to read in one of the reviews here that Parker talks more about food and clothes in early books than he does in Potshot, though the clothes-horse and tastebud hits were here, too, with a just-right minimal. Slurp.

Here's evidence of Parker's word precision, imbedded in one of his characterizations:

>> In a moment he came back with a man half his size who radiated an interior kinetic ferocity that made size irrelevant. "You The Preacher?" <<

I'll leave off now, wouldn't want to spoil the sensual pleasure of hitting cold the abundance of descriptive precision Parker gives on each character, including the variety of female types. Parker does sleazy with perfect pitch. He does wholesome with intense clarity and vulnerability, the type of voluntary emotional openness which fuels strength rather than weakness.

I relished every tasty word and page in this novel. I was not bored or disappointed once. How lucky I feel to have Potshot in the slot of being my first Spenser novel, and to have such a long trail to go! Western edge, PI class, whatever. I'm on it for the long haul, open to variety, yet ready for more of the same good stuff.

Gerry Boyle's uncanny eye for the dangers that can lie just beneath the sleepy surfaces of rural Maine makes his fourth book about freelance journalist Jack McMorrow a marvelously mordant mystery. It's not hard to swallow the back story that the impulsive McMorrow gave up a job with the New York Times to savor the charms and rigors of northern New England; he takes the same kinds of chances here as he gets involved with a strange bunch of advocates for legal marijuana. More McMorrow memoirs in paperback include Bloodline, Deadline and Lifeline.

Book Description

Reporter Jack Morrow is enlisted by some harmless hippies to do a story on the legalization of marijuana. Instead, he finds himself in a confrontation with dangerous gangsters.

Customer Reviews:

Best I've read in the series........2002-07-19

Admittedly the only other book I've read in the McMorrow series was Borderline, and that was good enough to get me to try "Potshot". The basic premise at the beginning, Jack is hired to write an article reagarding the legalization of pot, is interesting enough to keep you reading and it just builds from there. The introduction of the hard to figure characters Bobby and Coyote, and the very surprising characters of Melanie and Steven helped make this a real page turner. I thought the story was fun to read and when it came down to the last 75 pages or so, I couldn't put it down. So much for the "noble" (depending on your viewpoint), idea of legalizing pot. A real surprise ending!

An overlooked author.......2001-01-24

I originally started reading Gerry Boyle during an all too long lull between Robert B. Parker Spenser books (and during Parker's "slump" of Double Deuce, Playmates, etc.). Expecting to find a major rip-off of Parker, I was very pleasantly surprised to find tightly written, well-plotted stories with plenty of dry humor. I found Potshot to be one of the best of the series.

Boyle has a wonderful sense of style, particularly with characters that could easily veer off into stereotypes or just plain silliness. The legalized pot movement is just so ripe for satire, but even through the haze, each character is used to further the plot rather than just comic relief.

Bottom line: read this book, and his others. You don't need to be a huge Parker fan to appreciate this book.

Book Description

Charles de Lint's Newford novels, loosely linked "tales" with overlapping characters set in an imaginary modern North American city, are tales of magic and myth afoot on today's city streets. But at the center of every de Lint story is the miracle of the human heart.And at the heart of Spirits in the Wires are Saskia Madding and Christiana Tree, both of whom are tied to perennial Newford character, the writer Christy Riddell. Are either Saskia or Christiana real? Christy's girlfriend, Saskia, believes she was born in a Web site, while Christiana is Christy's "shadow-self"--all the parts of him that he cast out when he was seven years old. At a popular Newford on-line research and library Web site called the Wordwood, a mysterious "crash" occurs. Everyone visiting the site at the moment of the crash vanishes from where they were sitting in front of their computers. Saskia disappears right before Christy's eyes, along with countless others.Now Christy and his companions must journey into Newford's otherworld, where the Wordwood, it transpires, has a physical presence of its own....to rescue their missing friends and loved ones and to set this viral spirit right before it causes further harm.

Customer Reviews:

Disappointing and shallow.......2007-06-14

Like the other reviewer said, the book held a lot of promise - the idea is an interesting one, but unfortunately, after the initial excitement, the book peters out into dross. The concept of spirits living in the wires gets tangled up in some goofy new-age metaphysics, that pretty much destroys the story. The characters are totally two dimentional and are just so "down to earth" and "sincere", it made me want to shake off the feeling of nausea several times. It does not help that their names are so cutesy-tootsy - Christy, Geordie, Sophie, Gilly, Holly, Ellie... thank God there is a name or two ending with a consonant in there somewhere. This is a third De Lint book I had to get rid of, so that's it for me.

Rather pallid effort from Delint.......2006-11-28

I agree that this book had some promising features, using the idea of the "double", but he used that to better effect in "Trader". His writing about computer and internet technology seems artificial, as though he quickly skimmed some websites to familiarize himself with the terminology, but hasn't actually lived it. Aaran's character seems implausible, and the various characters' development not well-motivated. I'd like to read more about Holly and Bojo, but Saskia, Christiana and friends did not hold my interest. In my opionion, this author's masterpiece is "The Little Country".
- Jeff

Oh, charles, I thought I knew you. . . ........2006-06-16

So, this almost-latest addition to the deLint collection is daring. . .but somewhat disappointing. It seems the accumulation of invisible knowledge throughout the internet has become an increasingly popular sifi/fantasy topic, but not one I can say I appreciate. It comes across as contrived. Rather than dealing with the issues that plague man or the possibility of things from the corner of your eye, they give a meaning to the internet that just isn't there. The internet is far too cold to be a place of wonder, it's like trying to convince me that the metal shelves in my freezer are filled with personality.

In his defense, Charles deLint was capable of cleverly weaving this internet magic in with his already existing otherworld, and by the end of the book this alternate existence was acceptable, but only because he stopped referring to any detailed connection to the lifeless and cold that I feel from the internet.

For review, the entrance to this novel begs a leap of faith and trust in the author, but by the last quarter of the book, you're riding familiarly in the pleasing territory that only Charles deLint can create. Incidentally, you also get a very healthy and exciting dose of the life of Robert, the blues man who sold is soul to the devil along with an interesting array of new newford characters and a seamless continuation of Newford life. For these, it's still a 4, but please avoid the bandwagon internet, chuck, and stick with your own innovation.

spirits in the wire.......2005-10-19

Charles de Lint is my favourite author and as usual with his books you have the real mixed with the fantasy. In this case a girl created from a boys throw away persona and another created from a computer programme and thats fantasy, but the way its written it just could be fact.

Disappointing.......2005-09-17

Spirits in the Wires held a lot of promise for me, but it just didn't deliver. De Lint's regular stable of Newford characters is here, and I found that distracting rather than pleasant, since I felt he was a little too self-referential. Even the presence of Christy and Geordie Riddell, among my favorite de Lint characters ever, couldn't quite save this one. The writing plodded along in places, and the magic in the books didn't take place in Newford, but rather on the Internet. Since De Lint is a master of urban fantasy, that disappointed me. I also didn't feel it would have made a good introduction to Newford, since a lot of the time I found myself reading passages and going, "Huh? Who are they and why do they matter?" For a better introduction to Newford and its denizens, try one of de Lint's short story collections, or maybe Someplace to be Flying.

Book Description

Ancient magic and the Internet weave a spell in the latest Newford novel from urban fantasy master Charles de Lint.

Charles de Lint's "Newford" novels, loosely-linked tales with overlapping characters set in an imaginery modern North American city, are the gold standard of modern urban fantasy.

De Lint tells tales of magic and myth afoot on today's city streets, but at the center of every de Lint story is the miracle of the human heart. And at the heart of Spirits in the Wires are Saskia Madding and Christiana Tree, both of whom are tied to a perennial Newford character, the writer Christy Riddell.

Are either Saskia or Christiana real? Christy's girlfriend, Saskia, believes she was born in a Web site, while Christiana is Christy's "shadow-self" -- all the parts of him that he cast out when he was seven years old.

Now Christy and his companions must journey into Newford's otherworld, where the Wordwood, it transpires, has a physical presence of its own -- to rescue their missing friends and loved ones and to set this viral spirit right before it causes further harm.
