Great Parker,one of the best.(The 13th i read)
Parker is stuck in a playground with a suitcase of money and 5 bullets in his gun after a amorcar robbery that's gone sour.A buch of tugs think him an easy target,they soon know better.Half the local mafia is called to the rescue and come out with a bloody nose.
This sound like a boast but nothing in the short book is illogical.I specialy like his description of each characters,and his uses of images(very funny).As always Westlake does not babble,just the minimum for efficency.
Parker is the ultimate is terms of hardboil crime,i wich i could put this one into a film but i guess Cronenberg would do it much better.
