Three Weeks in Spring (1978) with Joan Parker
This Is A Love Story. It is true. It has a happy ending. It is a story about a man and a woman, about breast cancer and mastectomy and recovery. It is about courage and self control, about unity, about compassion, about Joan Parker and her husband and their sons. It is about family and triumph and pervading tenderness. It is about love.
In Three Weeks in Spring, the Parkers tell us, with a novelist’s skill, the way it was in April when Joan got sick. The way the fear escalated, the way they had to control it, and keep it in, and fight it off. Was it cancer? Would it spread? Would she die? Three Weeks in Spring speaks of pain, and fear. But it speaks ultimately about strength and the power of love. It is a book filled with humor and with an unbreakable will to laugh.
The good guys win in this book.
Wilderness (1979)
At 46, Aaron Newman was enjoying the good things in life – a good marriage, a good job – and he was in good shape himself. Then he saw the murder. A petty vicious killing that was to plunge him into an insane jungle of raw violence and fear, threatening and defiling the things he cared about.
Love and Glory (1983)

All Our Yesterdays (1994)
They were the Sheridan men, ruled by passion, betrayed by love, heirs to a legacy of violence and forbidden desire. Gus, Boston’s top homicide cop: he knew equally well the backroom politics of City Hall and the private passions of the very rich, a man haunted by the wanton courage and perilous obsessions he inherited from his father… Conn, the patriarch, a lawless cop who spawned a circle of vengeance and betrayal that would span half a century… and Chris, Gus’s beloved son, a Harvard lawyer and criminologist, fated to risk everything to break the chain of obsession and rage… Three generations linked by crime and punishment–cops and heroes, fathers, sons, and lovers united at last by revelations that could bring a family to its knees.
Gunman’s Rhapsody (2001)
The gunman is Wyatt Earp. The rhapsody plays out in a rare Parker stand-alone novel, his best yet and his first western. Told in prose as cool and spare as Parker has ever laid down, the book details the time Wyatt and his brothers spend in Tombstone, culminating in the shootout at the O.K. Corral.
