"The best of Donald Westlake''s pseudonymous thrillers about Parker, the toughest burglar who ever lived. . . .Out of print for years and years, Butcher''s Moon is the ultimate Parker novel, best read as an installment in the series as a whole but comprehensible and wholly satisfying on its own."--Terry Teachout, About Last Night
(Terry Teachout About Last Night )
The sixteenth Parker novel, Butchers Moon is more than twice as long most of the master heisters adventures, and absolutely jammed with the action, violence, and nerve-jangling tension readers have come to expect. Back in the corrupt town where he lost his money, and nearly his life, in Slayground, Parker assembles a stunning cast of characters from throughout his career for one gigantic, blowout job: startingand finishinga gang war. It feels like the Parker novel to end all Parker novels, and for nearly twenty-five years thats what it was. After its publication in 1974, Donald Westlake said, Richard Stark proved to me that he had a life of his own by simply disappearing. He was gone.
Featuring a new introduction by Westlakes close friend and writing partner, Lawrence Block, this classic Parker adventures deserve a place of honor on any crime fans bookshelf.More than thirty-five years later, Butcher's Moon still packs a punch: keep your calendar clearwhen you pick it up, because once you open it you won't want to do anything but read untilthe last shot is fired.
