The Black Ice Score by Richard Stark

3.0

Random Parker adventure provided by the local library service, middling in quality that mostly feels like the rushed by the numbers pulp stuff that his contemporaries were churning out. There's some nonsense with a newly independent African nation and training diplomats to steal their national jewels back from an embezzling leader that I could barely raise enthusiasm for but in between there are some nice hardboiled Parker moments. The opening chapter was pretty great though I must say.
