Robert B. Parker has died

I noticed this headline in the New York Times. Robert B. Parker, Mystery Writer, Has Died at 77.

I'm really sorry that this has to be the 100th post on this blog. I wanted to post something a little more upbeat. He was a writer who understood the charm side of real hard-boiled fiction. And he understood the connection between the western and modern crime fiction.

Sigh.

    We've lost a wonderful writer, whose dialog always amazed and often tickled me.
