Robert B. Parker's Framed

Spenser fights to prove the innocence of a friend in this latest installment of Robert B. Parker’s beloved series.

There has never been a more admired figure in the history of the Boston Police Department than Martin Quirk, Spenser’s friend. Now an unknown adversary has devised an elaborate plan to ruin his reputation — and his life. His bosses believe the lie. So does the whole city. The BPD won’t allow Quirk to defend himself, and clear his name. That’s Spenser’s job.

Robert B. Parker was the author of seventy books, including the legendary Spenser detective series, the novels featuring Police Chief Jesse Stone, the acclaimed Virgil Cole-Everett Hitch Westerns, and the Sunny Randall novels. Winner of the Mystery Writers of America Grand Master Award and long considered the undisputed dean of American crime fiction, he died in January 2010.

Mike Lupica is a Hall of Fame sports columnist and New York Times bestselling author of more than forty works of fiction and nonfiction, in addition to being a frequent co-writer with James Patterson. A longtime friend to Robert B. Parker, he was selected by the Parker estate to continue the Spenser series, after having previously done the same with the Sunny Randall series, and with Jesse Stone.
