From G.P. Putnam's Sons, forwarded to me by my editor there:
"It is with great sadness that we inform you that beloved author Robert B.
Parker passed away yesterday at his home in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He
has been published by G. P. Putnam's Sons and Berkley Books since 1989, with
his more than 45 national bestsellers including the critically acclaimed
Spenser and Jesse Stone series. He also successfully crossed over to the
young adult market with several bestselling books published by Philomel
Books. He will be deeply missed by us all."
