Comeback: a Parker novel by Richard Stark
In ten words or less: Parker's partner pulls a double cross; Parker settles the score.
Review: It promised to be a big payday for Parker. The target was a Christian Crusade at a local arena--cash only, credit cards and checks not accepted. Parker's friend Ed Mackey had set it up with Liss, who had an inside man. But as they made their way out with the duffel bags full of money, Liss pulled a double cross. The cops are looking for Parker and Mackey, and so is the head of security for the Crhistian Crusade, a tough as nails ex-Marine who takes the robbery personally.
Why bother? Another great mystery from one of the masters of hard boiled crime.
