Description
Breakout, the latest addition to the Parker series, brings together the entire series under one publisher for the first time. Written by Donald E. Westlake under the pseudonym Richard Stark, this collection of novels follows the career of a shrewd and cunning career criminal with a talent for heists and a code of his own.
With Parker locked up and on the verge of being unmasked, Breakout follows his daring escape from prison with a team of convicts. As they navigate the dark alleys and old stone buildings of the big city, they must contend with a new cast of characters, including con artists, snitches, and cops. But Parker soon learns that not all prisons have bars.
Featuring new forewords by Chris Holm, Duane Swierczynski, and Laura Lippman, this collection of masterworks of noir is a worthwhile read for fans of the genre. With its unique blend of artistry, adrenaline, and logic, the Parker novels are a true literary run that will leave you craving more.
