So, then I tried a couple of Spenser novels - I especially enjoyed Sixkill - read by Joe Mantegna, who I have now learned played Spenser on TV in the series, Spenser for Hire which I regret having missed. Spenser adopts Zebulon Sixkill, a full-blooded Cree warrior as a protege and together they have many exciting adventures trying to determine the way a young woman dies in the hotel room of a thug actor, Jumbo Nelson. Wild stuff and there's nothing like the sardonic humor of a Cree to make one LOL.
If you need to know more about Robert B Parker, who died last year, check out this very thorough site listing a critical review of his body of work, including television and movies.
