Robert B. Parker's Framed
Spenser fights to prove the innocence of a friend in this latest installment of Robert B. Parker’s beloved series.
There has never been a more admired figure in the history of the Boston Police Department than Martin Quirk, Spenser’s friend. Now an unknown adversary has devised an elaborate plan to ruin his reputation — and his life. His bosses believe the lie. So does the whole city. The BPD won’t allow Quirk to defend himself, and clear his name. That’s Spenser’s job.

Mike Lupica
For Mike Lupica, storytelling has always been about more than just who wins the game — it's about the grit, the heartbreak, and the small triumphs that happen when no one's looking. Whether chronicling the fierce dreams of young athletes in Travel Team and Heat or stepping into the sharp-edged world of crime fiction with the Robert B. Parker continuations, Lupica writes with a heart that beats just as hard as his characters’.
Growing up in Oneida, New York, and later making his mark in the newsrooms of Boston and New York City, Lupica sharpened his voice as a sports journalist long before he became one of America’s bestselling novelists. His columns for the New York Daily News weren’t just about scores; they captured the spirit of cities, teams, and the people who believed in them. That same pulse of authenticity runs through his fiction, giving even the quietest moments an unmistakable weight.
Spenser
In the layered streets of Boston, where power shifts like the tides and loyalty is the rarest currency, one man has built a career on standing firm when others bend. The Spenser series carves out a world that feels startlingly real—gritty yet sharply human, laced with danger but grounded by heart. At the center of it all is a private investigator whose code of honor is as unshakable as the city’s granite foundations.
Spenser consists of fifty-two primary books, and includes one additional book that complement the series but is not considered mandatory reads and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
