That’s easy.James Patterson. He had nine books published last year. I am so sorry to hear that Parker died. I really liked the Jesse Stone stories, and I read “Appaloosa” before they even thought of making it into a movie. I’ll miss him. I think I have some thirty year old scotch around that I can use to toast his passing.
