robert parker books

Author robert parker also came up with 2 new characters named jesse stone and sunny randall. robert parker newest book which just came out last week is the newest jesse stone book. The new book is called split image. This is book number 9 in the jesse stone series. The series starts off with jesse getting laid off from the l.a. cop force, his wife is cheating on him, he,s drinking too much. He ends up getting hired as the new police chief in paradise. Where the spenser books can be light, the jesse stone books are heavy and hard hitting. anyone can read the spenser books but from my point of view the stone books are more for grown ups. The storys and plots have more going on, the mysterys are better, the books give you more to think about. For parkers other P.I. sunny randall, the character was created for actress helen hunt. robert parker and helen hunt met and became friends and she asked him to creat a character for her to play in a movie. So robert parker came up with sunny randall and wrote what became the first book in a new series. He took the story everywhere but no one and i mean no one wanted helen hunt to play the part. Hollywood big shots wanted any other actress for the role. so robert parker published the story as a book and it was a bestseller and he had a new book series.
