Nobody Runs Forever: A Parker Novel
Autor Richard Stark Cuvânt înainte de Duane Swierczynskien Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 sep 2017

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. Even when he sees the job turning bad, he can’t let go of the score—and there just might be nowhere left to run...

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."
