Kevin has a page on Thrilling Detective dedicated to
Hawk-like sidekicks: http://www.thrillingdetective.com/trivia/triv160.html
There's no mention of Bobo, though.
Jesse Stone doesn't have a sidekick but, in TROUBLE IN
PARADISE--the second Stone book, there's a American Indian
called Crow. Crow is somewhat honorable, but more clearly
criminal than Hawk has been a while. In the third Stone book,
DEATH IN PARADISE, Jesse gets chummy with two Boston cops who
have enough free time to help stakeout a crime boss's legit
place of business.
Conveniently, Spenser hasn't wanted for backup when Hawk's
gone on leave. He's had Vinnie Morris, Joe Broz's old
lieutenant and shooter; Chollo, the chicano shooter from
STARDUST and THIN AIR; Tedy Sapp, the gay ex-soldier,
ex-cop-turned-bouncer in HUGGER MUGGER; Bobby Horse, the
Kiowa warrior who, with Chollo, works for L.A. crime boss
Victor del Rio.
