Robert B. Parker's Broken Trust (Spenser Book 51)

In this latest entry in Robert B. Parker’s beloved series, Spenser delves into the mysterious past of a reclusive tech billionaire, marking the first installment by acclaimed author Mike Lupica.

Andrew Crain seems to have it all: a brilliant scientist and savvy businessman, his pioneering work with lithium has made him one of the wealthiest people in the world. Widely admired and adored, Crain’s life takes a sudden turn when his wife, Laura, approaches Spenser for help. She suspects something dark in her husband’s past. Despite his public image as a generous philanthropist and devoted family man, Crain has recently become secretive, paranoid, and prone to violent outbursts. His erratic behavior is threatening both their marriage and a major company merger that could change their lives forever. Laura asks Spenser to uncover what has changed in her husband before it’s too late.

As Spenser investigates Crain’s past, he uncovers a trail of secrets that could reveal terrible actions behind Crain's rise to success—but also a compelling justification for them. With no easy answers, Spenser’s discoveries force him to reexamine his own moral compass, while placing him in serious danger.
