ANNOUNCING AN IMPORTANT NEW TITLE

In Pursuit of Spenser:

Mystery Writers on Robert B. Parker and the Creation of an American Hero

Edited by Otto Penzler

When Robert B. Parker died in early 2010, the world lost two great men: Parker himself, iconic American crime writer whose books have sold more than 6 million copies worldwide, and his best-known creation, Spenser. Parker’s Spenser series not only influenced the work of countless of today’s writers, but is also credited with reviving and forever changing the genre.

            In Pursuit of Spenser offers a look at Parker and to Spenser through the eyes of the writers he influenced. This important festschrift collects some of today’s bestselling mystery authors to discuss Parker, his characters, the series, and their impact on the world. 

            The contributers are Ace Atkins, Lawrence Block, Reed Farrel Coleman, Max Alan Collins, Matthew Clemens, Brendan DuBois, Loren D. Estleman, Lyndsay Faye, Ed Gorman, Parnell Hall, Jeremiah Healy, Dennis Lehane, Gary Phillips, and S.J. Rozan.
