Parker, the fourth in the Spenser series, which was originally published in 1976 and won the Mystery Writers Of America association’s Edgar Award for best novel. The book was “Promised Land” by Robert B. It wasn’t the best designed cover in the world (see below) but it was published by Penguin and it sounded cool and so I bought it. One day I was browsing in the crime section of W H Smiths in Kettering and a title caught my eye. I got into the Sara Paretsky “V I Warshawski” series, the Hannah Wolfe novels of Sarah Dunant and various stand-alone titles, mainly by American writers. In the late 80s, after seeing “The Long Goodbye” on Moviedrome, I began reading Raymond Chandler and quickly fell in love with crime fiction.
