The Green Eagle Score

By Richard Stark

Book Overview

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 hoisters 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

Customer Reviews

I love Parker

I am so happy that the Parker stories are being reprinted. I read some of them back in the '60's then went on with my life. Now 40 years later I have taken up with Parker again. No matter what you might think of the morality of Parter you have to admire his expertize. I admit it- I love watching him plot, figure, and execute his capers. I so enjoy watching him deal with his various no-goods in his no nonsense manner. I just would not wnt to join in any of his capers.
