Spenser briefly runs into Robert Crais’ P.I. Joe Pike. By the time this novel takes place, Spenser would be in his eighties, and likely retired. It stretches credibility that he and his entire supporting cast would have access to an immortality elixir. The novel is also based heavily on Dashiell Hammett’s Continental Op novel The Dain Curse, with some of the characters having the same names and roles. Since the Op is in the CU, this further cements the novel as an AU.
This crossover is one of over a thousand covered in my book Crossovers Expanded: A Secret Chronology of the World Volume 3, coming this summer from Meteor House! All three volumes are AUTHORIZED companions to Win Scott Eckert's Crossovers: A Secret Chronology of the World Volumes 1 and 2!
