Description

       Parker, the antihero of Rich Stark’s eponymous secret books, is among the most memorable people in hard-boiled noir. Praised by critics for his tight reality, unapologetic amorality, and razor sharp prose style—and admired by lovers who change each intoxicating site with growing urgency—Stark is just a master of crime writing, his publications as important as any in the category. The University of Chicago Press has started on the venture to come back the first volumes of the collection to produce for a brand new generation of visitors to discover—and become hooked to. This season’s choices contain quantities 7–9 within the sequence: The Seventh, The Manage, and The Rare Cash Score.            Within The Seventh, the heist of the university basketball game goes negative, and the take is taken with a crazy, severe novice.
