Parker for Mire

(More merit for Monty)

Or
Death in Paradise
Robert Brown Parker was found slumped at his desk, a cigarette smoldering in the ashtray, a glass of 25-year-old Scotch left criminally abandoned, a blonde with legs that didn’t stop, but a heart that had looming nearby, the slightest hint of a smile dancing across her lips, as though she’d just watched Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Some of that may have been writer’s embellishment. Best remembered for his tough, witty Boston detective Spenser, “with an ‘S’ like the English poet,” the former Boston University undergrad, PhD and professor also found success with Paradise, Mass.-based police chief Jesse Stone and trendy, lovelorn PI Sunny Randall, intended to create an action franchise for Helen Hunt.
