He couldn't have w/o the agreement of Parker's estate and publisher. Publishers sign authors they know can make them money.

My friend felt Spenser should stay in 1st person, that writing him in 3rd person demystified him. I see the continuation effort as different authors' perspectives on Parker's work. I'm open to views of the #characters Parker didn't give us.
