Plot.
Spenser, a private investigator in Boston. Spenser, who served as an infantryman in the 1st Infantry Division during the Korean War and as a former State trooper, receives a letter from his lover, Susan Silverman, who has relocated to the West Coast. His friend and associate, Hawk, is in jail and she needs help.
Formation Quartzite left the Bald Eagle ridge standing above the valley. The Bald Eagle Creek runs at the foot of the ridge on a bed of Devonian Hamilton Group Shale. Durable Lock Haven Formation Mudstone forms a parallel series of steep elongated knolls running west of the floodplain, some almost as high as the ridge. Catskill Formation Sandstone underlies a series of lower gently rolling hills at the foot of the plateau, which is in turn formed from uplifted Mississippian Sandstone.
