I am sorry to hear this but I thank you for sharing it. I remember sharing some of his books with my partner. She would read them for the psychological aspects. I would read them for the more typical reasons. Then we would compare notes. And they did do an excellent job of casting the TV series. Just last month I picked up some of his work at sale table at the local library. I think I will go look for some more. Outlier

[&o] I've read every book of his, except for two, I believe. Huge, huge fan.

Too sad, I enjoyed his work immensely - way up there in my pantheon of the Masters of the Hard Boiled. 77 seems young these days to pass; a premature (book)end to his rich and rewarding contribution.

Did a quick Google; he still has two books to come out this year. Blue Eyed Devil (a Hitch and Cole novel), and Split Image, a Jesse Stone book. No more Spensers, unless they find something.
