false <![CDATA[Dirty Money]]> 2247134 2 "[One] of the greatest writers of the twentieth century...Richard Stark, real name Donald Westlake...His Parker books form a genre all their own." --John Banville, Booker Prize-winning author of The Sea Master criminal Parker takes another turn for the worse as he tries to recover loot from a heist gone terribly wrong. In Nobody Runs Forever, Parker and two cohorts stole the assets of a bank in transit, but the police heat was so great they could only escape if they left the money behind. In this follow-up novel, Parker and his associates plot to reclaim the loot, which they hid in the choir loft of an unused country church. As they implement the plan, people on both sides of the law use the forces at their command to stop Parker and grab the goods for themselves. Though Parker's new getaway van is an old Ford Econoline with "Holy Redeemer Choir" on its doors, his gang is anything but holy, and Parker will do whatever it takes to redeem his prize, no matter who gets hurt in the process. 2253007 23 4 2008 Dirty Money total:62|5:10|4:22|3:21|2:8|1:1| 62 218 78 18 3 1 false false Wed Apr 30 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Apr 25 08:45:30 -0700 2008 Wed Apr 30 09:00:54 -0700 2008

Richard Stark is Donald Westlake's evil twin. This story of dishonor and ineptitude in the wake of a bank robbery is grimly funny, and Parker is his usual taciturn, brutal self.

Parker is a professional robber. He does big jobs and expects big results. He also kill...more...]]> 2 1 false false Fri Jan 02 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 02 10:56:38 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 02 10:58:21 -0800 2009 1 0 false false Sat Jan 10 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 08 10:32:49 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 10 19:05:08 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Sat Jan 12 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Jan 14 12:44:00 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 14 12:46:30 -0800 2009 1 Nobody Runs Forever and Ask the Parrot.
