Bang the drums slowly--A giant has passed
Jan 19^th, 2010, 9:11am

Robert Parker passed away of natural causes today at 77. Parker, novelist and Edgar Award winner, single-handedly revived hard-boiled detective fiction with his iconic "Spenser" series. The world he created enrapt millions of readers in dozens of languages.

I was one of those readers. And my imitative Gavin McQue short stories were my homage to this superb craftsman. His work inspired me; his writing thrilled me; his talent humbled me.

Sleep well, great one. You've earned your rest. Lesser lights than you must now emblazen the way. The world of letters will miss you.
