Robert Parker, best known for his Spenser novels, returns to his Sunny Parker series with this fourth volume. The PI is having trouble coping with the news of her ex-husband's imminent remarriage. Sunny's low mood is mirrored by that of Sarah Markham, who is upset because she believes that she's an adopted child and that the parents who raised her are lying about it. She hires Sunny to confirm her belief. Unfortunately, Sarah will have far more to cry about when Sunny's investigation leads someone to murder in order to prevent the truth from coming to light.

Despite efforts at revival by John Updike and others, William Dean Howells still remains in the shadows of his close friends Mark Twain and Henry James. This book works against decades of unfavorable comparisons with these literary giants.William Dean Howells and theEnds of Realism helps us to see him as a writer very much aware of his limitations and of his enormous importance in the development of an American literary tradition. A close look at his late works gives us a richer understanding of this powerful moment of transition in American literature, a moment when Howells and his venerable friends were inspiring and anointing a new generation of writers and taking a long, hard look at their own legacies and contributions.
