Plunder Squad: A Parker Novel

A master criminal has three art thefts on his plate—and a side dish of vengeance in this hard boiled crime novel. Foreword by Charles Ardai "Hearing the click behind him, Parker threw his glass straight back over his right shoulder, and dove off his chair to the left." When a job looks like amateur hour, Parker walks away. But even a squad of seasoned professionals can't guarantee against human error in a high-risk scam. Can an art dealer with issues unload a truck of paintings with Parker's aid? Or will the heist end up too much of a human interest story, as luck runs out before Parker can get in on the score? "Richard Stark's Parker crime novels are the ultimate page-turners." ―Boston Globe "Whatever Stark writes, I read. He's a stylist, a pro, and I thoroughly enjoy his attitude." —Elmore Leonard "Donald Westlake's Parker novels are among the small number of books I read over and over. Forget all that crap you've been telling yourself about War and Peace and Proust—these are the books you'll want on that desert island." —Lawrence Block
