Well, I remember the days before Susan Silverman . . . the woman in advertising in the window across the street. I remember when Susan was a guidance counselor at a private high school where Spenser was 'sleuthing.' In the days before Pearl I.
I guess that dates me.
I even remember when Hawk and Spenser met, when Hawk was trying to kill Spenser.
That's back in the days when every Robert B. Parker character was introduced with a brief description of what they were wearing . . . and in those days, it often included a white belt and a maroon leisure suit. He carried on that tradition, but it was a crutch for him with his early writing.
I'll give Robert Crais a shot.
