'Here's Parker--planning to steal the entire payroll of an Air Force base in upstate New York, with help from Marty Fusco, fresh out of the pen, and a smart aleck finance clerk named Devers. Holed up with family in a scrappy little town, the heisters prepare for the risky job by trying to shorten the odds. But the ice is thinner than Parker likes to think--and Marty s ex-wife is much more complicated. Parker is refreshingly amoral, a thief who always gets away with the swag.' --Stephen King, Entertainment Weekly.
'Westlake knows precisely how to grab a reader, draw him or her into the story, and then slowly tighten his grip until escape is impossible.' -- Washington Post Book World.
