Review:
Parker is refreshingly amoral, a thief who always gets away with the swag.
--Stephen King "Entertainment Weekly ""
Parker . . . lumbers through the pages of Richard Stark s noir novels scattering dead bodies like peanut shells. . . . In a complex world [he] makes things simple.
--William Grimes "New York Times ""
Whatever Stark writes, I read. He s a stylist, a pro, and I thoroughly enjoy his attitude.
--Elmore Leonard"
Richard Stark s Parker novels . . . are among the most poised and polished fictions of their time and, in fact, of any time.
--John Banville "Bookforum ""
Parker is a true treasure. . . . The master thief is back, along with Richard Stark.
--Marilyn Stasio "New York Times Book Review ""
Donald Westlake s Parker novels are among the small number of books I read over and over. Forget all that crap you ve been telling yourself about War and Peace and Proust these are the books you ll want on that desert island.
--Lawrence Block"
Richard Stark writes a harsh and frightening story of criminal warfare and vengeance with economy, understatement and a deadly amoral objectivity a remarkable addition to the list of the shockers that the French call roman noirs.
--Anthony Boucher "New York Times Book Review ""
"Parker is a brilliant invention. . . . What chiefly distinguishes Westlake, under whatever name, is his passion for process and mechanics. . . . Parker appears to have eliminated everything from his program but machine logic, but this is merely protective coloration. He is a romantic vestige, a free-market anarchist whose independent status is becoming a thing of the past."
--Luc Sante "New York Times Book Review "
"I wouldn't care to speculate about what it is in Westlake's psyche that makes him so good at writing about Parker, much less what it is that makes me like the Parker novels so much. Suffice it to say that Stark/Westlake is the cleanest of all noir novelists, a styleless stylist who gets to the point with stupendous economy, hustling you down the path of plot so briskly that you have to read his books a second time to appreciate the elegance and sober wit with which they are written."
--Terry Teachout "Commentary "
"If you're a fan of noir novels and haven't yet read Richard Stark, you may want to give these books a try. Who knows? Parker may just be the son of a bitch you've been searching for."
--John McNally "Virginia Quarterly Review "

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