"A dimestore shiv of a book about what happens when corrupt cops tip off the mob about a car accident in which an incompetent wheelman flips a getaway car next to an amusement park called Fun Island. (Hint:Master thief/antihero extraordinaire Parker survives; a lot of other people die."--SethMnookin, The Millions
(Seth Mnookin )
The hunter becomes prey, as a heist goes sour and Parker finds himself trapped in a shuttered amusement park, besieged by a bevy of local mobsters. There are no exits from Fun Island. Outnumbered and outgunned, Parker can't afford a single miscalculation. Hes low on bulletsbut, as anyone whos crossed his path knows, that definitely doesnt mean hes defenseless.
Nobody tops Stark in his objective portrayals of a world of total amorality. New York Times
Energy and imagination light up virtually every page, as does some of the best hard-boiled prose ever to grace the noir genre. Publishers Weekly
