Deadly Edge: A Parker Novel

In this hard-boiled crime novel, a professional thief targets a rock concert—only to find himself in the crosshairs of a pair of killers. Foreword by Charles Ardai Deadly Edge bids a brutal adieu to the 1960s as Parker robs a rock concert, and the heist goes south. Soon Parker finds himself—and his woman, Claire—menaced by a pair of sadistic, strung-out killers who want anything but a Summer of Love. Parker has a score to settle while Claire's armed with her first rifle—and they're both ready to usher in the end of the Age of Aquarius. "The action is non-stop." —Wall Street Journal "[Parker] lumbers through the pages of Richard Stark's noir novels scattering dead bodies like peanut shells. . . . In a complex world [he] makes things simple." ―New York Times "If you're a fan of noir novels and haven't yet read Richard Stark, you may want to give these books a try. Who knows? Parker may just be the son of a bitch you've been searching for." ―Virginia Quarterly Review
