Notes: I've seen movies, TV shows, and even comic books based upon this novel, and I've enjoyed them all to some extent or other, so I thought it high time I actually read the original. The first of the Parker novels.
Mini review: If you like hard-boiled, noir fiction with a heavy anti-hero, then you'll like this novel. And I mean it when I call the main character, Parker, an ant-hero, because he is one bad man. I wouldn't even say he's exactly likable, but he's definitely an interesting character. Would I read more in this serious? You betcha.
