Robert Parker (one of my favorite authors), creator of the Spenser novels (which spawned the NBC Blue Network series "Spenser, For Hire"), died this morning at his home in Cambridge, Mass.
I'll hoist a cold one in his honor when I get home tonight.... ******************* CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) -- Robert Parker, the author of the popular "Spenser" novels about a hard-nosed Boston private investigator, has died. He was 77. A spokeswoman for the Cambridge police department says an ambulance was sent to Parker's home at about 11 a.m. Monday for reports of a sudden death. The spokeswoman, Alexa Manocchio, says the death was of "natural causes" and is not considered suspicious. A publicist for Parker's publisher confirmed the death but had no further details. Parker wrote more than 50 novels, including 37 featuring Spenser. The character was the basis for the 1980s TV series "Spenser: For Hire," starring Robert Urich.--
