The Seventh by Richard Stark

5.0

---

This is the seventh in the celebrated Parker series. This one is interesting in the way Stark has structured it -- starting "in media res" then filling in the backstory, then almost becoming a detective novel for a bit, then a bit of a revenge story. The writing is strong, and the narrative keeps up a good pace for the entire run of the book. A fairly high bodycount, and some great descriptions make this one of the stronger Parker books since the initial trilogy.
