Robert B. Parker’s Revenge Tour, written by Mike Lupica, is an airplane book. If you haven’t seen my prior references to this term, I’ll define that for you. An airplane book is a novel that you probably bought at the last second before getting on a transcontinental flight. You were hoping that it would entertain you for the length of time you were in the air. It is not great literature, and in fact, is a quite forgettable story. If you happened to fall asleep and did not have time to finish it by the time you were landing, and then you accidentally left it in the seat pocket, you would not be curious enough about the characters in the book or the ending of the plot and subplots, you probably would actually never think about it again. This is just such a book.
