[QUOTE="Glock 'em down, post: 3604891, member: 684"] My favorite writer was Robert B. Parker. I don't know if you're old enough to remember the [i]Spenser, For Hire[/i] television show back in the late 70s/early 80s, but the show was based on his Spenser novels. Spencer was a smart mouthed PI in Boston. Parker is also famous for his Jesse Stone series that was turned into a series of movies starring Tom Selleck. Stone is a former LAPD homicide detective, who is going through a divorce and gets fired for being drunk on the job. He accepts a job as police chief of a quiet little fishing town, Paradise, Massachusetts. Of course, Jesse digs up some town secrets that he shouldn't have and it all goes to hell, as you can imagine. Parker also dove into the western genre with the Cole & Hitch series. I'm not a big western fan, but he did a good job. There's also a movie from his first Cole & Hitch novel, [i]Appaloosa[/i] starring Ed Harris, Viggo Mortensen and Renee Zellweger. Awesome movie!
