When a mature beautiful & composed April Kyle strides into Spensers office the Boston PI barely hesitates before recognizing his once & future client. Now a well-established madam herself April oversees an upscale call girl operation in Bostons Back Bay. Still looking for Spensers approval it takes her a moment before she can ask him again for his help. Her business is a success; whats more its an all-female enterprise. Now that some men are trying to take it away from her she needs Spensers help. April claims to be in the dark about who it is thats trying to shake her down but with a bit of legwork & a bit more muscle Spenser & Hawk find ties to organized crime & local kingpin Tony Marcus as well as a scheme to franchise the operation across the country. As Spenser again plays the gallant knight it becomes clear Aprils not as innocent as she seems. In fact she may be her own worst enemy.
