THE DEADLY EDGE

by Richard Stark ‧ RELEASE DATE: Feb. 1, 1970

Richard Stark's (he's Donald Westlake) Parker, like MacDonald's Travis McGee, is now appearing in hard cover for the first time and this one begins with a precision-planned heist after which Parker withdraws to a small house in the country where he wants ""to stay alive longer,"" along with his girl Claire. There are brutal reparations (one victim nailed to the wall) in this killing season and it all has a metallic, urgent excitement which is hard to beat.
