Robert B. Parker (born September 17, 1932) is an acclaimed American writer of detective fiction. His most famous works are the Spenser series, which achieved a far wider audience due to being dramatized as a television series, Spenser: For Hire, on the ABC network during the late 1980s. His works explore aspects of human nature and incorporate considerable knowledge about the Boston metropolitan area.
Spenser (he never reveals his first name) is a fictional character in a series of detective novels by the American mystery writer Robert B. Parker.
Spenser was born in Laramie, Wyoming and is a Boston private eye in the mold of Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe, a smart-mouthed tough guy with a heart of gold. Unlike Marlowe, Spenser maintains a committed relationship with a woman (Susan Silverman). Although he is an ex-boxer (who likes to remind readers that he once fought the former heavyweight champ Jersey Joe Walcott) and lifts weights to stay in shape, he also is quite erudite, cooks, and lives by a code of honor he and Susan sometimes discuss-though as infrequently as he can manage. Scotch is Spenser's drink of celebration. This is mostly having to do with an encounter with a bear while bird hunting in his teens, Spenser seems to agree with William Faulkner's assessment of scotch - "that brown liquor which not women, not boys and children, but only hunters drank."
Spenser bears more than a passing resemblance to his creator, Robert B. Parker. Both are Bostonians, and both spent time in Korea with the U.S. Army. Unlike Parker, however, Spenser hardly grows older. He was 37 when introduced in The Godwulf Manuscript and is now (mid-October 2006) some 49-1/2 years old, according to the Bullets-and-Beer formula, aging 12-1/2 years for about 36 years of real time. This requires some retconning-Spenser stopped making reference to his military service in the Korean War as an eighteen-year old, as he did in the first novels - although in 2006's Hundred Dollar Baby Spenser mentions being on R and R in Japan before going back to the war, although exactly which war is not made clear.
The other major character in the Spenser novels is his close friend Hawk (which is unlikely to be either of his real names), an equally tough but somewhat shady echo of Spenser himself. Spenser and Hawk met as boxing oppponents in a preliminary bout in the Boston Arena (now known as Matthews Arena). Each man believes he was the victor. Hawk may be modeled on the sidekick in Book Five of Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queene; Artegal, the knight of justice, has a helper named Talus who is an invincible man of iron.
Spenser, a former State trooper assigned to the Suffolk County DA's Office (although some novels state that he also worked out of the Middlesex County DA's Office, for example in Walkin
