ASK THE PARROT opens where ?Nobody Runs Forever" left off, with Parker dodging dogs, cops, and a helicopter. He's forced to work with a small-town recluse and some fools in a gun club, and only Parker's brains, cool, and speed keep him a step ahead of everyone pursuing him. While others get impatient and stupid, Parker stays focused on getting cash and getting out. This is the 23rd of Stark's 24 Parker novels, Lots of guns and cars, and a feeling of being trapped in rural Massachusetts. Duane Swwierczynski's brief and breezy foreword describes how he came to read and search for the Parker novels, and much they influenced him.

Industry Reviews

"Like a great white shark that leaves a trail of blood which excites smaller sharks, Parker inspires criminal behavior in the average citizens around him. . . . Parrot is well up to the usual Stark standard. Unusually for the series, it's often funny, laced with Stark's brutally morbid humor rather than Westlake's wry ironies. And as always, Westlake is a master of lean, hardboiled prose and fast-moving, tense scenes that drip with potential violence before, inevitably, exploding into actual violence."-- "AV Club"
"Read Ask the Parrot and find out why Stark is the kind of writer who, whatever else you're reading, you stop dead and read his latest."-- "Independent on Sunday"
