Items related to Flashfire (Parker)
The basis for the movie PARKER, starring Jason Stratham and Jennifer Lopez.
Between Parker’s 1961 debut and his return in the late 1990s, the world of crime changed considerably. Now fake IDs and credit cards had to be purchased from specialists; increasingly sophisticated policing made escape and evasion tougher; and, worst of all, money had gone digital?the days of cash?stuffed payroll trucks were long gone.
In Flashfire, Parker’s in West Palm Beach, competing with a crew that has an unhealthy love of explosions. When things go sour, Parker finds himself shot and trapped?and forced to rely on a civilian to survive.

Review:
'The writing is as stripped down as a drag racer and the action is as brutal and powerful ... Parker is some mean machine and you will love him' The Scotsman. (Scotsman)
'Invariably well-written, exciting and hugely entertaining. Stark's crisp, convincing dialogue is as good as Elmore Leonard's' The Times. (The Times)

"Park is the genre's most captivating anti-hero" Daily Mirror
When professional thief, Parker, finds himself working with an associate called Melander and his gang on a bank heist in a Midwestern city in Nebraska, his job is throwing a Molotov cocktail into a gas station. The resulting explosion sends the cops and fire trucks to one side of town, while the gang plunders the bank on the other.
But Parker wasn't consulted about Melander's follow-up plan, to use all the money from the bank job, including Parker's cut, to pay for a new heist, the robbery of a Palm Beach jewellers. Now Parker feels cheated and aggrieved, and he's tailing the gang down South, with a plan for getting his own back... and the entire swag of gems besides.
"The nonpareil, the hardboilest of the hard-boiled, one of the best loved names in all of noir" Guardian
