Spenser Wiki

The Gray Man is amoral, brilliant, efficient and finally shows emotion when he kidnaps his own daughter and arranges not only revenge for her brutal treatment at the hands of her mother and history of sexual molestation by her stepfather: these crucial relationships when revealed to Spenser lead to a truce between them, as Spenser does not report The Gray Man's (Rugar) involvement in the violence in Rough Weather and Rugar will no longer be a threat to Spenser. Does Rugar appear again? Yes. Does Spenser trap the hideous greedy Heidi Bradshaw in a later novel? This reader does not know.
