I think the decline began when Parker allowed Susan to return
from her returning as a psychologist. It was completed by her
obtaining the dog.
I wonder if all this was reflecting Parker's personal life.
From what I remember he and his wife lived in the same
building but in non-connecting wings.
You and I have discussed Crais' Elvis Cole retaining the

they were splitting and a woman nearly identical to the one
Crais killed off is still around. A third Mark
