About this listen
A friend's girl and her infant daughter have been gunned down. Though the act at first appears to be an accidental drive-by shooting, it soon becomes clear that it was premeditated murder. Before they can solve the crime, Spenser and Hawk must take on an adolescent band of hardened urban warriors. As bullets fly and the brutality escalates, Spenser learns more than he ever dreamed about a generation imprisoned in a hell of poverty and hopelessness where muscle is the ticket to survival, and the surest way out is in a body bag.
Pulsing with moral complexity, Double Deuce is the kind of no-holds-barred action thriller only Robert B. Parker can create

Critic reviews
"The plot is nothing new - it might be described as Spenser meets New Jack City - but Deuce 's snappy dialogue, timely, fast-paced action and quick characterizations make it classic Spenser." (Publishers Weekly)
Unfortunately the narration of this book performance leaves much to be desired compared to those narrated by joe Mantegna or others. Some of the voices are grating and annoying hawk sounds flaky , Belsen is virtually impossible to understand , Many of the characters end up sounding off . Overall it’s not sympathetic to characterization of 30 + other books .
Its Ok, but a bit like you know Tom Cruise (great actor that he is with an amazing portfolio of action performances) can’t possibly be Jack Reacher.
Good story, poor narration

If this book wasn’t for you, who do you think might enjoy it more?
I love this book, its one of my favourites of RBP but David Dukes delivery of Hawk is terrible, i only managed about 6 minutes before I had enough. Hawk is a tough talking, strong african American male yet in this David Dukes makes him sound like a 12 year old girl. TERRIBLE, dont waste your money on any RBP Books that he narrates.What didn’t you like about David Dukes’s performance?
