Spenser Confidential

Disgraced former Boston police officer Spenser is released from a five-year prison sentence for intervening in a domestic dispute and assaulting his captain John Boylan. On the day of Spenser's release, Boylan and another officer, Terrence Graham, are murdered. Spenser teams up with his no-nonsense new roommate, Hawk, to investigate and take down the guilty parties. Rising property prices and a casino project on the former Wonderland dog track in Revere fuel greed and police involvement in selling drugs to obtain a share of the project. Spenser examines the evidence in an attempt to piece together the series of events involving the murderers, drug traffickers, and corrupt police officers.
