β¦ Synopsis
SUMMARY: Deadly Edge bids a brutal adieu to the 1960s as Parker robs a rock concert, and the heist goes south. Soon Parker finds himselfβand his woman, Claireβmenaced by a pair of sadistic, drug-crazed hippies. Parker has a score to settle while Claireβs armed with her first rifleβand theyβre both ready to usher in the end of the Age of Aquarius. βRichard Starkβs Parker novels . . . are among the most poised and polished fictions of their time and, in fact, of any time.ββJohn Banville, Bookforum βThe Parkers read with the speed of pulp while unfolding with an almost Nabovokian wit and flair.ββRichard Rayner, Los Angeles Times
