Helen Brann

Helen Brann, who was Robert B. Parker's agent, reported that on the morning he died Parker was working on a Spenser Christmas story. When Parker's widow told her that, and said she wondered what would happen to it now, Brann offered to finish it. The result was  Silent Night: A Spenser Holiday Novel. It's one last look at the meaning of family by a man who knew that family isn't always related, but sometimes made of people we want to be with, people we care about.
