Nobody Runs Forever: A Parker Novel

Autor Richard Stark Cuvânt înainte de Duane Swierczynski
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 sep 2017
Nobody Runs Forever opens a three-part saga with a job at a poker game that sours into a necktie party. When Parker goes in on a messy scam—stealing an armored car—with someone he barely knows, as usual the amateurs get in the way of the job. From a nervous ex-con and his well-intentioned sister to a bank manager's two-timing wife and a beautiful, relentless cop, too many people have their hands too close to Parker's pie.

Notă biografică

Richard Stark was one of the many pseudonyms of Donald E. Westlake (1933–2008), a prolific author of crime fiction. In 1993, the Mystery Writers of America bestowed the society’s highest honor on Westlake, naming him a Grand Master.

Recenzii

“Fiercely distracting . . . . Westlake is an expert plotter; and while Parker is a blunt instrument of a human being depicted in rudimentary short grunts of sentences, his take on other characters reveals a writer of great humor and human understanding.”

“Although Parker keeps his cool to the bitter end, it will probably be some time before he can pick up a hymnal without cringing.”

“A cliffhanger. . . . A one-two punch . . . [with] impact and velocity.”

“You just can’t get good criminal help these days. That’s what Stark’s heist-meister Parker quickly discovers as he tries to make a score to repair his sagging finances. . . . Stark offers lots of bleak fun as well as intriguing physical details of the illegal variety and righteously sharp descriptions of people we pass every day on the street. . . . This stellar series just gets better and better.”

“Stark’s careful control over every element results in a fascinating novel, a look at the true price of crime, and an opportunity to enjoy another book by this master writer.”

“Blazingly written. . . . From the necktie party beginning to the flap-flap of police helicopters on his trail at the end, it’s another thrill ride worth staying up all night and calling in sick tomorrow morning for, you nine-to-five bandit, you.”

"Richard Stark’s Parker crime novels are the ultimate page-turners."
