Book details
Overview
STALKING BULLS, another kind of theater of the mind. You've enjoyed them on radio; now read them in print.
YOU CAN SYMPATHIZE WITH PARKER ROBINSON: On the one hand, he has a guardian aunt who thinks he's a responsible college student but doesn't know he's on probation for skipping a half-semester's worth of classes to go surfing Hawaii. He has a Polynesian girlfriend whose face could launch a thousand outrigger canoes. He has a dog that listens only to him. He drives an antique 'bullet' Thunderbird that belonged to a late uncle and another uncle, who is the Boston Police Commissioner, who offers him a summer's internship provided he not involve himself in police business. Parker agrees.
But this is before the Isabella Stewart Gardner Art Museum suffers its second major break-in-and-art-heist and Parker realizes he must involve himself to save his uncle's job. However, doing so leads to unintended consequences: such as his girlfriend being kidnapped. To free her, he has to come face to face with a modern-day Minotaur ––must confront it and wrestle it–– even though it means pitting the monster's brute strength against Parker's youth.
Stalking Bulls is the first book of a trilogy, which includes Stalking Lions and Stalking Chickens.
