Parker, Robert B. Back Story (Spenser)
Berkley March 2, 2004 0-425-19479-5 / 9780425194799 Paperback Very Good+
Spenser's respectable 30th outing (he debuted 30 years ago in The Godwulf M anuscript) finds the veteran Boston PI teaming briefly with Jesse Stone, th e cop hero of a newer Parker series (Death in Paradise, etc.). The move wor ks because Parker plays it low-key, presenting Stone as just one of many ch aracters who cross Spenser's path as the PI-hired by a friend of his adopti ve son, Paul, for the princely sum of six Krispy Kremes-digs into the 28-ye ar-old murder of a woman during a bank robbery; the friend is the slain wom an's daughter and wants closure. Before Spenser bumps into Stone, the top c op in Paradise, Mass., he connects the killing to the daughter of big time Boston mobster Sonny Karnofsky, an old foe. When Spenser won't back off, Ka rnofsky threatens Spenser's girlfriend, Susan, then orders a hit on the PI. Enter as protection longtime sidekick Hawk; other series vets make appeara nces too on Spenser's behalf, including cops Belsen and Quirk and shooter V innie Morris. An interesting new character, a Jewish FBI agent, also helps out. The repartee between Spenser and Hawk is fast and funny; the sentiment between Spenser and Susan and the musings about Spenser's code are only oc casionally cloying; and there's a scattering of remarkable action scenes in cluding a tense shootout in Harvard Stadium.

Parker, Robert B. Family Honor (Sunny Randall)
Berkley November 7, 200 0-425-17706-8 / 9780425177068 Paperback Very Good
Let's get this settled right away: Sunny Randall is nothing like Spenser. T rue, she's a private eye in Boston with good connections to the cops, and s he also knows a lot of bad guys. And yes, she happens to have a trusty side kick named Spike, and a close friend who could easily be related to Susan S ilverman, (Spenser's long-term companion). Oh, did I mention the cute dog? Aside from that, though, there's absolutely no similarity between this new series from Robert B. Parker and his long-running Spenser books. Just becau se the case Sunny is working on--finding a missing 15-year-old girl who has run away from her very rich parents--sounds similar to the Spenser favorit e Thin Air doesn't mean Parker is repeating himself here. Think of it as mo re like a homage, the kind of thing the author took on when he agreed to fi nish Raymond Chandler's Poodle Springs. Only in this case it's a homage to himself--but what the hell. Written specifically with Parker's good friend actress Helen Hunt in mind, Family Honor is all in good fun. At one point, a no-nonsense nun looks down at Sunny's bull terrier, who is lying on her back begging for a tummy rub. "What's wrong with this dog?" Sister said. "It is a dog, isn't it?"

Spenser and Hawk cut a brawl-strewn path through the members of the tenure committ ee on their way to the surprising truth of the Nevins case.

Parker, Robert B. Melancholy Baby (Sunny Randall Novels)
Berkley October 4, 2005 0-425-20421-9 / 9780425204214 Paperback Fine
Some of Robert B. Parker's most distinctive novels over the years (God Save the Child, Early Autumn, Ceremony, etc.) have centered on young people in trouble, so his return to that theme in Melancholy Baby is hardly a surpris e. What's more remarkable is how deftly he uses the case of an angry, confu sed college student searching for the facts about her family background as a means to pry open the hardly less troubled psyche of Boston private eye S onya "Sunny" Randall, a character at serious risk of one day outshining Par ker's better-known but less reflective gumshoe, Spenser.

Parker, Robert B. Night Passage (Jesse Stone Novels
Jove November 1, 199 0-515-12349-8 / 9780515123494 Paperback Very Good
Fans often feel uneasy when the creator of a popular character ventures int o new turf, and sometimes their trepidation is justified. But readers of Ro bert B. Parker's immensely popular Spenser series can breathe a sigh of rel ief: while Night Passage doesn't feature Spenser, his usual gang of associa tes, or a Boston setting, it's vintage Parker--fast, witty, suspenseful, an d engaging. Told in short, crisp chapters, it's the story of Jesse Stone, a 34-year-old ex-cop who just lost his L.A. policeman's job and his marriage due to a drinking problem. The book opens as Stone leaves California for h is new job as chief of police in the picturesque town of Paradise, Massachu setts.

Parker, Robert B. Perchance to Dream
Berkley Publishing Group December 1, 199 0-425-13131-9 / 9780425131312 Paperback Near Fine
Parker, author of the Spenser novels, has made this "sequel to Raymond Chan dler's The Big Sleep " a stunning, drop-dead success. Private eye Philip Ma rlowe spins a yarn of greed, madness and death with the cool-eyed cynicism (and good-guy core) that made him the classic hardboiled dick. The era is p ost-WW II ("GI mortgages"), possibly early '50s ("cha cha cha"), the L.A. d ream beginning to sour. Psychotic Carmen Sternwood is missing from an expen sive sanatorium. After sultry Vivian has enlisted suave gangster Eddie Mars to locate her sister, the family butler, Norris, hires Marlowe for the sam e purpose. Sanatorium head Dr. Bonsentir stonewalls Marlowe's queries by us ing some heavy political clout, but further probing leads to a kinky billio naire who is practically untouchable. Marlowe is beaten up, a chopped-up bo dy is found and an ex-inmate of the asylum dies "accidentally" before the P I uncovers a water-rights scam involving millions. Parker's effort goes bey ond pastiche: he uses flashbacks from The Big Sleep daringly and seamlessly , and his terse style (a cop asks for the time of death: "Any idea when yet ?") is flawlessly in Chandler's footsteps. This is dazzling.

Parker, Robert B. Perish Twice (Sunny Randall)
Berkley November 7, 200 0-425-18215-0 / 9780425182154 Paperback Very Good
What mystery fan hasn't heard by now that Robert B. Parker created his Sunn y Randall series expressly for good friend Helen Hunt, with an eye toward t he actress playing the petite blonde investigator on the silver screen? Alt hough the series has been touted as a radical departure for Parker (a woman in the lead, by gum!), so strongly do Boston PI Sunny and her cohorts rese mble Boston PI Spenser and his pals that the movie's casting director might prefer a blond-wigged Robert Urich. But Parker's quick quips, droll wit, a nd staccato dialogue are all on display in the latest Randall novel, Perish Twice, so in spite of the reworked characters, there's still plenty to enj oy. When radical feminist Mary Lou Goddard hires Sunny to protect her from a stalker, Sunny accepts the case with some reluctance. After all, Goddard detests Rosie, Sunny's bull terrier, canine vacuum, and stakeout companion ("Rosie was in the passenger seat, staring out the side window, alert for the appearance of a strange dog at whom she could gargle ferociously."). It doesn't take Sunny long to track down and confront Lawrence Reeves, a particularly pestilential human being. But pestilence is no excuse for murder, so when Reeves and Gretchen Crane, one of Goddard's colleagues, are both found dead, Sunny dives into the murky waters of Boston's prostitution industry, where Reeves was a client and Gretchen was trying to unionize the workers. Politics and sexuality can be a nasty tangle, and the unraveling threads lead straight to mobster Tony Marcus's door. Tony may appreciate Sunny's sharp wit, but business is business: interference can--and does--lead to a
