Stark’s novels are not only entertaining for what they are—midcentury noirs—but they are also better than a lot of what was coming out back then. Is opgenomen inHeeft de bewerking
The Outfit was organized crime with a capital O. They were big; they were bad; they were brutal. No crook ever crossed them and lived to enjoy it-except Parker. So they wanted Parker dead, and a hit man proved they meant business. Too bad for the Outfit he missed. Ripping off the Outfit was the easy part of Parker's game. Going one-on-one with Bronson, the Outfit's big boss, was the hard part. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

The logistics section is particularly elaborate this time, featuring multiple crews as they case various organized criminal enterprises (the numbers racket, bookmaking, and a general-purpose Den of Iniquity), following the money from the corner drugstore to the big shots in the Outfit.
Both plot and theme make this much more of a direct sequel to The Hunter than The Man with the Getaway Face was, but these novels are all heavily serialized. Despite the formula, Westlake/Stark’s prose rarely feels formulaic, with the jarring exception of the catch-up passages aimed at readers coming to the novels out of order (which in some cases seem to be literal cut-and-paste jobs).
