T. JEFFERSON PARKER WINS 2009 EDGAR AWARD
Jeff won the Edgar Award for Best Short Story, recently given by the Mystery Writers of America at their annual banquet in New York. Jeff is particularly proud of this award because it's bestowed by other mystery writers and the competition is always ferocious. This is his third Edgar. He also won best novel awards in 2000 for "Silent Joe" and in 2004 for "California Girl."

THE RENEGADES

T. Jefferson Parker's latest novel is now available!
Some say that outlaws no longer exist, that the true spirit of the American West died with the legendary bandits of pulp novels and bedtime stories. Charlie Hood knows that nothing could be further from the truth. These days he patrols vast stretches of the new American West, not on horseback but in his cruiser.

The outlaws may not carry six-shooters, but they’re strapped all the same.
