This gritty, fast-paced thriller is ideal for readers who appreciate classic noir crime stories with moral complexity and dark humour. Fans of 1960s counterculture settings and hardboiled antiheroes will find it particularly engaging.
Parker robs a rock concert, but the heist goes sour, and he finds himself - and his woman, Claire - menaced by a pair of sadistic, drug-crazed hippies. Slayground turns the hunter into prey, as Parker gets trapped in a shuttered amusement park, besieged by a bevy of local mobsters.

Description
Deadly Edge bids a brutal adieu to the 1960s as Parker robs a rock concert, and the heist goes south. Soon Parker finds himself—and his woman, Claire—menaced by a pair of sadistic, strung-out killers who want anything but a Summer of Love.
Parker has a score to settle while Claire’s armed with her first rifle—and they’re both ready to usher in the end of the Age of Aquarius.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Celebrated for its sharp, economical prose, Richard Stark's Deadly Edge stands out in crime fiction. William Grimes of the New York Times notes Parker's relentless momentum through the story, while John Banville praises the series as some of the most polished fiction of any era. Richard Rayner highlights the books' blend of pulp speed and literary wit. Stephen King admires Parker's amoral charm, and Elmore Leonard affirms his dedication to Stark's work.
