Easy scheme, right? Well, except that nothing is ever simple and easy in Westlake/Stark books. One of the guys tries to steal the $400,000 from his partners after they successfully do the job and, when foiled, isn't ready to give up.
Soon Parker is left with no money himself, a problem he intends to resolve. And one of his partners is determined to kill him. I'd elaborate but I don't want to give away any more surprises.
The book has great characters and very believable dialogue, at times putting novelist Elmore Leonard to shame. I join the rest of the mystery audience in saying, welcome back Parker.
