Another classic Parker

We owe a lot to the University of Chicago Press for reprinting the Parker novels.
Read this Book! Don't Mourn It!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
As a mystery writer with my debut novel in its initial release, I read just about everything Richard Stark writes. His Parker is as tough as any contemporary protagonist comes, and THE MOURNER is among Stark's best books. It is exactly what you would expect from Stark and Parker. Read it today or even sooner!
Parker's Cold War
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This time around, instead of the Big Caper, we get a revenge yarn . Parker is caught in the usual doublecross while lifting a statue from the home of an Eastern European diplomat. When he and Handy McKay are left for dead, it's up to Parker to recover the loot and exact revenge. Although this would be an excellent book from any other writer, it's a bit of a letdown from Stark/Westlake.
