The hunter becomes prey, as a heist goes sour and Parker finds himself trapped in a shuttered amusement park, besieged by a bevy of local mobsters. There are no exits from Fun Island. Outnumbered and outgunned, Parker can't afford a single miscalculation. He?s low on bullets?but, as anyone who?s crossed his path knows, that definitely doesn?t mean he?s defenseless.

?Nobody tops Stark in his objective portrayals of a world of total amorality.? ?New York Times

?Energy and imagination light up virtually every page, as does some of the best hard-boiled prose ever to grace the noir genre.? ?Publishers Weekly

Industry Reviews

"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." - William Grimes, New York Times "Richard Stark's Parker novels... are among the most poised and polished fictions of their time and, in fact, of any time." - John Banville, Bookforum "The Parkers read with the speed of pulp while unfolding with an almost Nabokovian wit and flair." - Richard Rayner, Los Angeles Times "Parker is refreshingly amoral, a thief who always gets away with the swag." - Stephen King, Entertainment Weekly "Whatever Stark writes, I read." - Elmore Leonard"
