Ask The Parrot by Richard Stark

4.0

An interesting entry into the Parker canon. Some of the later Parker books seem to be variations-on-a-theme type books; Breakout is all about breaking out of places, while Firebreak is about creating redundancies. This one is the strangest theme; it's Parker affecting everyday people's lives, and generally ruining them. It's really interesting reading, once that's noticed, and the side characters are interesting. Good stuff.
