“Now to find Uhl.” A job goes, yes, sour on Parker and he sets out to put things right, the Parker way. He has a pretty rum time of it, all told. Yes, Claire can wire him funds from afar but this time round Parker gets drugged, shot at, and his leads get killed right in front of him, all of which ra...
“This was not a joke.” Parker walks away from this escapade $25,000 richer but phew-ee what a way to make a living. This time round he’s commissioned to plan, rather than execute, the theft of a collosal stash of diamonds from a Manhattan safe house, a job that’s already been discussed with a previo...
“This isn’t the way I had it planned but what the hell.” The tenth Parker and “Richard Stark” (maestro Donald Westlake) is somehow still finding extraordinary targets for our hard-as-nails robber to hit. After island casinos, sports stadiums and whole towns this time Parker has his sights on the pay...
“You only get one scream”. Parker takes one look at the amateurs planning to do over a coin convention and quite rightly walks away along with the only other vaguely professional guy in the room. He should have kept walking and he should have kept a closer eye on that other guy. What distracts him? ...

Flashman still reigns as my favourite series of novels, but my God every one of these would have to ...
"Never had such a sweet operation turned so completely sour..." From $100 to a seventh of the takings of an entire stadium heist, no less. Pity Parker didn't foresee the jealous ex of the girl he was lying low with. Seven novels in and Parker's still got it.
I love that I've discovered the Parker series. I'd been searching for a good series of popcorn books that I can read quickly without a whole lot of brainpower when I'm in that mood, or when I'm working and have little time to read. The Parker books have filled that void for me. They're quick, in-and...
Loved this to bits. Even though I've been reading crime fiction and novellas for years, I'd never touched on 'Stark'. Won't be the last time. Full review http://ifthesebookscouldtalk.com/2014/08/06/parker-hunter/
When The Outfit sets its sights on Parker it doesn't count on the fact that men like Parker, the "independent contractors" of the underworld are, in their own way, legion. The powers that be as well as the cogs and drones who comprise the myriad operations under the purview of The Outfit are soft ta...
