Firebreak

Between Parker's 1961 debut and his return in the late 1990s, the world of crime changed considerably. Now fake IDs and credit cards had to be purchased from specialists; increasingly sophisticated policing made escape and evasion tougher; and, worst of all, money had gone digital – the days of cash-stuffed payroll trucks were long gone.

But cash isn't everything: "Flashfire" and "Firebreak" find Parker going after, respectively, a fortune in jewels and a collection of priceless paintings. In "Flashfire", Parker's in West Palm Beach, competing with a crew that has an unhealthy love of explosions; when things go sour, Parker finds himself shot and trapped – and forced to rely on a civilian to survive".Firebreak" takes Parker to a palatial Montana "hunting lodge" where a dot-com millionaire hides a gallery of stolen old masters – which will fetch Parker a pretty penny if his team can just get it past the mansion's tight security. The forests of Montana are an inhospitable place for a heister when well-laid plans fall apart, but no matter how untamed the wilderness, Parker's guaranteed to be the most dangerous predator around.
