The Score
Parker works with a group of professional con men on his biggest job yet - robbing an entire town in North Dakota.
It was an impossible crime: knock off an entire town—a huge plant payroll, all the banks, and all the stores—in one night. But there was one thief good enough to try—Parker.
In The Score, Parker takes on his biggest job yet. All he needs are the right men, the right plan, and the right kind of help from Lady Luck. But as everyone knows, you can never count on that last one.
This chilling caper could either be the perfect crime… or a set-up that would land him in jail—for life.
