Robert B. Parker (born September 17, 1932) is an acclaimed American writer of detective fiction. His most famous works are the Spenser series, which achieved a far wider audience due to being dramatized as a television series, Spenser: For Hire, on the ABC network during the late 1980s. His works explore aspects of human nature and incorporate considerable knowledge about the Boston metropolitan area.
Robert Parker Quote
"Spenser’s operating principle is probably living life on his own terms, happily with Susan, as best he can. But obviously there is a knight-errant dimension about him, which Hawk’s ferocious practicality balances off."
"I write ten pages a day. Chapter two grows out of chapter one, and chapter three grows out of chapter two, etc. I often don’t know who did it until the book lays out and I may not know until nearly the end."
