A Parker Novel

Bank robberies should run like clockwork, right? If your name's Parker, you expect nothing less. Until, that is, one of your partners gets too greedy for his own good. The four-way split following a job leaves too small a take for George Uhl, who begins to pick off his fellow hoisters, one by one. The first mistake? That he doesn't begin things by putting a bullet in Parker. That means he won't get the chance to make a second. One of the darkest novels in the series, this caper proves the adage that no one crosses Parker and lives

About the Author

Richard Stark was one of the many pseudonyms of Donald E. Westlake (1933-2008), a prolific author of crime fiction. In 1993, the Mystery Writers of America bestowed the society's highest honor on Westlake, naming him a Grand Master.

Reviews

"Whatever Stark writes, I read. He's a stylist, a pro, and I thoroughly enjoy his attitude" – Elmore Leonard

"The non-hero: the ruthless, unrepentant, single-minded operator in a humorless and amoral world... No one depicts this scene with greater clarity than Richard Stark" – The New York Times
