The Sunny Randall series was created by Robert B. Parker, featuring a female private investigator in Boston. Parker wrote the first seven novels before his death in 2010, establishing Randall as a capable, independent PI with a complicated personal life and a talent for navigating Boston’s criminal landscape.

Alison Gaylin picked up the series starting with Blood Feud in 2018, continuing the character’s adventures with new cases and ongoing personal storylines. Gaylin has kept Parker’s voice and setting intact while adding her own psychological depth to the mysteries. The combined series now runs nearly twenty entries across both authors.
