One of my favourite authors died last month.  I didn’t hear about it at the time, partly because he is strangely unknown over here, partly because I was moving and partly because my Dad withheld the news from me.  It took two weeks for this obit in the Indy to appear (by which time Dad had finally remembered to mention it); thanks to archel for the link.

Sad to think I will only have the pleasure of reading a brand new Spenser book three more times.
