Her business is a success what's more, it's an all-female enterprise. Still looking for Spenser's approval, it takes her a moment before she can ask him, again, for his assistance. Now a well-established madam herself, April oversees an upscale call-girl operation in Boston's Back Bay. When a mature, beautiful, and composed April strides into Spenser's office, the Boston PI barely hesitates before recognizing his once and future client. But April Kyle's return in Hundred-Dollar Baby is nothing short of shocking.

April resurfaced in Taming a Sea-Horse, again in dire need of Spenser's rescue-this time from the clutches of a controlling lover.

The book was 1982's Ceremony, and, thanks to Spenser, April escaped Boston's 'Combat Zone' for the relative safety of a high-class New York City bordello. Longtime Spenser fans will remember that once upon a time, though not so long ago, there was a girl named April Kyle-a beautiful teenage runaway who turned to prostitution to escape her terrible family life.

A client from a decades-old case reaches out to Boston PI Spenser-but can he rescue troubled April Kyle once more?
