Hugger Mugger by Parker, Robert B.

Parker has given Spenser a complex and dangerous case: racehorses are being murdered at stables in the south, and Spenser is tasked with protecting a promising two-year-old horse in Georgia. Walter Clive, the president of Three Fillies Stables, asks Spenser to uncover the perpetrator threatening his horse, Hugger Mugger. Despite his own financial struggles, Spenser agrees to take on the case due to his history of pro bono work.

Ignoring the local law enforcement's disdain, Spenser dives into the investigation. Clive has hired a security firm, but he believes Spenser's expertise is needed to oversee the security measures. Beneath the façade of southern hospitality, Spenser discovers underlying tensions within the Three Fillies organization.

The situation escalates when the attacker targets a human victim, forcing Spenser to reassess his views of the case and the organization he's working for. As danger mounts, Spenser must remain vigilant for his own safety.

With sharp dialogue, concise writing, and compelling characters, Hugger Mugger provides thrilling entertainment.
