Perish Twice | 
pickThe second book in Parker's Sunny Randall series is short on action, but does a great job of subtly developing the still new (then) characters. Most of the main characters are female, and Parker still had work to do on speaking from that perspective, but Randall and company are very interesting characters.
A female P.I. Talking about the scene outside an abortion clinic:
"There were a few scraggly-looking protesters trudging around outside. None of them looked like they were ever likely to be pregnant." Robert B. Parker
This is the 2nd book in the Sunny Randall series. Parker wrote this from many female perspectives, and I get this line on page 200 and I feel like he %#$&ed up. Am I wrong?
