Robert B. Parker's
unforgettable character

Robert Urich as Spenser in TV series "Spenser: For Hire"
 
 
 

 Avery Brooks as Hawk
 

Barbara Stock as Susan Silverman

(Page author's personal notes:  Having read all the Parker Spenser novels several times, several factors are always present; Spenser's enduring romantic love for Susan Silverman, his long-time friendship with Hawk, who would and does kill for either Spenser or Susan, and Spenser's ever-present White Knight personality.  These qualities and the biting prose of Parker that characterizes Spenser make all the novels a joy to read.  I dedicate these pages to Robert B. Parker and his characters.  He has produced, at this time, twenty-six Spenser novels, more than one a year since he began them in 1973 with "The Godwulf Manuscript," and all his fans have watched Spenser and Susan and Hawk grow through the years, in mystery after mystery.  And, with a smile, all of Spenser's fans realize, in all those stories, in all those difficult times, we never learn Spenser's first name.  He was, is, and always will be, simply Spenser).

We raise our glasses in toast and admiration, Mr. Parker, to your writing skills, and look for, in the years ahead,
more and more of Spenser's adventures.

Should you ever, when searching for a new story or plot, consider writing one Spenser novel that focuses on Hawk, along with Spenser, I, personally, would be very pleased.  We know of Spenser and his history, we know of Susan Silverman and her background, but we know little of Hawk.  Let us see how this miraculous character emerged into what he is; a man almost without a soul, without remorse, but utterly faithful, always, to his friend, Spenser, and Spenser's lady, Susan Silverman.
