I wondered if the Parker reference might be to his other series hero, Jesse Stone, who if you recall went from a high-octane policing job in (if I remember aright) LA to become chief of police in Nowheresville?noirencyclopediahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02843963811822980754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-90888179266489878602016-01-24T21:45:55.699-08:002016-01-24T21:45:55.699-08:00I know what you mean.

I've never read Craig Johnson, not read Parker for a few years, but from memory couldn't really see a connection, though my exposure to him was limited to his Spenser books. Hillerman yes, but again not read him for a while. I liked the book much more than not, a few niggles, but hey hoh.<br />I do like the new books the publisher 280 Steps is bringing out. My two reads after this were more from them - both new, both very good.col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-56766987840200969712016-01-24T21:35:26.849-08:002016-01-24T21:35:26.849-08:00The cover, which I had seen here before, had intri...The cover, which I had seen here before, had intrigued me.

Well worth a look in my opinion.
