The Outfit
![]() |
Count on This The castle was in Buffalo and the king was in the castle. The car was in the pine woods of Georgia and Parker was on the move: slowly plotting his attack on the head of the powerful criminal outfit that had put a contract on his life. Armed with a new face and the old iron will, Parker is declaring coast-to-coast war. And after Parker's associates pull off twelve robberies in five days against Outfit targets, the man in the castle starts to get the picture. All except one part: with a hot car and a cold tenacity, Parker is coming after him... |

Parker makes good on his threat from The Hunter to demolish the unwritten law that freelance operators stay out of organized criminal affairs. A few of Parker's old partners take advantage of the situation, and several excellent heists are described in great detail. This is a great one. It's easy to see why it was made into a movie. Handy McCay, from The Man With the Getaway Face, works with Parker again, still talking about retiring. This book sets up for a sequel even more than the first two: Elizabeth Ruth Harrow Conway, one of Parker's women of convenience, finds out about one of his covers and makes off with a gun with his fingerprints on it. |
