Critics Review
‘Well-written, exciting and hugely entertaining … Stark’s crisp, convincing dialogue is as good as Elmore Leonard’ The Times.
This is classic Richard Stark, the grandmaster of American crime fiction, who brought Parker back to life by popular demand after a 20-year break. Parker, of course, is probably the genre’s most captivating anti-hero…he’s showing little signs of ageing and neither is Stark’s prose - it’s as lean, hungry and tightly plotted as ever. Plus Stark has an uncanny ability to create complex subsidiary characters…superior entertainment - Daily Mirror (Book of the Week)
