I'm a huge fan of the work of the late author Robert B. Parker. Several of his characters have been transformed for the big and small screen. Since his passing, his estate has allowed some of Parker's more iconic characters to be written by new authors. Michael Brandman took over the Jesse Stone series of novels, and although he basically changed the character into the aged anti-hero from the Tom Selleck MOWs (Brandman worked on those scripts and adaptations), they aren't as bad as the Ace Atkins fan-fiction of Spenser (seen on TV as played by Robert Urich). Anyway, I found a semi-decent bookstore here in the plains states and picked up the latest paperback of the Stone series. I almost wept as I saw the review on the back cover.
