The green eagle score - Richard Stark

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
