Backflash

Richard Stark: Backflash (USA 2011)

From the Publisher:
After the publication of Butcher's Moon in 1974, Donald Westlake said, "Richard Stark proved to me that he had a life of his own by simply disappearing. He was gone." And readers waited.

But nothing bad is truly gone forever, and Parker's as bad as they come. According to Westlake, one day in 1997, "suddenly, he came back from the dead, with a chalky prison pallor" -- and the novels that followed showed that neither Parker nor Stark had lost a step.

Backflash finds Parker checking out the scene on a Hudson River gambling boat. Parker's no fan of either relaxation or risk, however, so you can be sure he's playing with house money -- and he's willing to do anything to tilt the odds in his favor. Featuring a great cast of heisters, a striking setting, and a new introduction by Westlake's close friend and writing partner, Lawrence Block, this classic Parker adventure deserve a place of honor on any crime fan's bookshelf.

Richard Stark: Backflash. A Parker Novel. With a new Foreword by Lawrence Block. University of Chicago Press, ISBN: 9780226770604 (April, 2011), 304 p., $15.00.

From the Publisher:
The boat is stuffed with money. The money is stuffed into bags. And the plan is full of holes. For Parker, going abroad a riverboat gambling casino, under the guise of a visiting politician, seemed like a good idea at the time. Then the heist of a lifetime turned into a very bad bet. Now from the guy who tipped him off in the first place to the guys waiting on shore, Parker is running out of people to trust. He has the money in the bag, but faces the getaway from hell. Because somebody wants Parker- for his money and his life...

Another gritty and compelling story for all devotees of Parker.

Backflash

Richard Stark: Backflash (USA 1999)

From the Publisher:
It's not in Parker's nature to gamble; he steals instead. So when it comes to ripping off a big fat floating gambling casino on the Hudson River, Parker leaves nothing to chance. From the phony politician to the getaway boat, from bringing the guns on board to getting the money off, Parker has it all planned out. There are only a few little problems...

The guy who tipped off Parker in the first place is a bureaucrat who has a moral streak-or a yellow streak-plus a story that doesn't quite add up. The guy who's steering the getaway boat has some unsavory friends who happen to have plenty of guns. And a reporter on the casino has enough sense to know that something on this cruise isn't quite right.

Suddenly Parker's surefire plan is blowing up like fireworks on the Fourth-only these bangs make people dead. Now with his luck going south and no one left to trust but himself, Parker will do what he does best: punch, claw, and kill his way out of the night.
