This week Joan Parker was the guest on NPR's "Here and Now." She gives a tour of her home in Cambridge and talks about her relationship with her late husband. Listen until the end of the segment for a teaser on the new Spenser books. This year I've had the immense pleasure of getting to know Joan. You learn why Bob dedicated all those books to her.

Also check out today's piece in the Boston Globe about Bob's desk. I had the honor of chatting with Joan earlier this year in this very special place.
