Boston Private Detective Sunny Randall has two cases occupying her attention in Revenge Tour. One involves her landlady, and former client, being blackmailed over the book that made her a star. The other concerns her father being targeted by someone looking to avenge an old grudge. While he only appears in a single chapter, the novel in notable for the first time Sunny Randall crosses paths with Spenser (Robert B. Parker’s original Boston PI whose sucess led to spinoffs for both Jesse Stone and Sunny). Spenser, who is dating Randall’s shrink Susan Silverman, has come up in conversation before, but this marks the first time the two detectives share the printed page.

Throwback Thursday takes us back to the 1966 Batman TV-series starring Adam West as Batman and Burt Ward as Robin.
