Meet Parker--just Parker to you, bub--a one-man wrecking crew, cunning, fearless, and more than just a little cold-blooded. Writing again under hard-boiled alter-ego Richard Stark, Mystery Writers of America Grand Master Donald E. Westlake returns to the violent world of his legendary criminal creation with <I>Breakout</I>. <p> This time around Parker has picked certain members of his crew wrong and the job goes south right into the county lockup. Alone and isolated, the antihero finds himself without much wiggle room. But experienced Stark readers know, wiggling is what the slippery Parker does best. In <I>Breakout</I>, he wiggles himself out of jail and right into an even more dangerous situation involving an armory, a tunnel, and a jewelry wholesaler. <p> While there are rough spots here and there, <I>Breakout</I> is simply another fun-to-read Parker novel, taking readers again to the flip side where the bad guys win and the good guys are never as good as they should be. Call it a great escape because, with this Parker novel in particular, that's just what it is. <I>--Jeremy Pugh</I> 3834 20 11 2002 Breakout total:110|5:1|4:5|3:4|2:0|1:0| 110 425 138 6 0 0 false false Sun Sep 13 20:13:20 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 13 20:13:37 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sat Nov 28 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 29 12:42:28 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 29 12:43:59 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Mon Sep 21 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 03 07:39:37 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 03 07:40:13 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Thu Jun 11 19:06:54 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 08 14:24:20 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 11 19:06:54 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Thu May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon May 05 15:16:10 -0700 2008 Wed May 14 07:29:45 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Sun Feb 24 10:15:20 -0800 2008 Sun Feb 24 10:16:07 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Fri Dec 04 22:30:31 -0800 2009 Fri Dec 04 22:30:31 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Mon Nov 30 04:54:17 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 29 06:51:55 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 29 06:51:55 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Sun Nov 29 04:41:09 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 29 04:41:09 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Sun Nov 22 15:55:15 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 22 15:55:30 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Nov 19 05:37:37 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 19 05:37:47 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Nov 18 10:09:55 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 18 10:10:04 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Tue Nov 17 17:27:30 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 17 17:27:30 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Mon Nov 16 13:58:32 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 16 13:58:32 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Fri Nov 13 15:20:00 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 13 15:20:00 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Sun Nov 08 07:11:15 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 07 11:41:25 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 08 07:11:15 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Fri Nov 06 15:02:55 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 06 15:02:55 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Thu Oct 08 00:35:57 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 08 00:36:05 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun Oct 04 09:02:03 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 04 09:02:03 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Tue Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 12 08:20:37 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 12 08:20:55 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=447203
