![]() | The Handle (1966) (Run Lethal) (The eighth book in the Parker series) A novel by Richard Stark |
| "To me, Richard Stark is the Prince of Noir." Martin Cruz Smith |
The Baron ran a gambling island off the Texas coast in the Gulf's blue waters. To Parker, it was just a floating crap game with class. To the Big Boys, it was competition they couldn't stomach. They wanted a specialist to rob the Baron blind, pluck him like a chicken, and burn this paradise island into the sea. That's why they sent for Parker. His price was 200 grand in cash and Crystal - a beautiful little blonde. So the pot was sweet, but the heist soon had so many twists it smelled like a brand-new lemon - and Parker knew the line between success and failure on this score would be exactly the length of the barrel of a .38.
