Meet the author
Handpicked by the Raymond Chandler estate to complete his final novel, Robert B. Parker was the undisputed heir to the American hardboiled detective tradition. As the creator of the iconic Boston P.I. Spenser, Parker spent decades honing the lean, witty, and morally complex style he first fell in love with as a reader of Chandler's work. His unique position as both a devoted fan and a master of the genre made him the only writer capable of giving Philip Marlowe a worthy final bow.
