Description
The Damsel is a fast-paced, hard-boiled novel by Richard Stark, featuring Alan Grofield, a less calculating and more hot-blooded counterpart to the series' main character. The story follows a scenic, action-packed road trip from Mexico City to Acapulco, filled with wit, adrenaline, and political intrigue. This novel is part of the Alan Grofield series, which shares events and characters with several Parker novels, but with a distinct tone. A new foreword by Sarah Weinman provides context for the series within Richard Stark's overall body of work. For fans of crime fiction, The Damsel offers an exciting addition to their library, with its blend of violence, adventure, and intrigue.
