Publisher Description
Only one thing could drive master thief Parker to return to the scene of a crime - the bags full of cash he was forced to abandon when his last heist turned sour. The race is on to reclaim the loot, before dark forces on both sides of the law can swoop in for the kill.
Masquerading as a choir, his gang is anything but holy, and Parker, remorseless as ever, will stop at nothing to redeem his prize…
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Master thief Parker wraps up some unfinished business in this entertaining if relatively lackluster entry in this long-running crime series from the pseudonymous Stark (aka MWA Grand Master Donald Westlake). Lots went wrong after Parker and two partners robbed an armored car in rural Massachusetts of $2.2 million in 2004's Nobody Runs Forever. The money was \x93poisoned\x94 (i.e., marked); one of his partners was captured before killing a marshal and escaping; and bounty-hunter Sandra Loscalzo wants to cut herself in on the take. The pragmatic, quick-thinking Parker must find a way to retrieve the stashed haul he and his confederates left in Massachusetts without getting caught by the law or nibbled to death by other crooks. Stark handles the criminal aspects of his tale with his usual panache, but some fans will find Parker's trademark sharp edge less in evidence this outing.
