Description
Bank robberies should run like clockwork, right?
If your name’s Parker, you expect nothing less. Until, that is, one of your partners gets too greedy for his own good. The four-way split following a job leaves too small a take for George Uhl, who begins to pick off his fellow heisters, one by one.
The first mistake? That he doesn’t begin things by putting a bullet in Parker. That means he won’t get the chance to make a second.
One of the darkest novels in the series, this caper proves the adage that no one crosses Parker and lives.
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?
The Sour Lemon Score by Richard Stark receives high praise for its intense and gripping storytelling. Critics admire the Parker novels for their taut prose, compelling plots, and the distinct noir style crafted by Stark, a pseudonym for Donald Westlake. The series is celebrated for its masterful pacing and the striking character of Parker, whose amoral and calculated nature captivates and entertains readers. With commendations from notable authors and literary critics alike, these books are recognised as outstanding contributions to the crime and thriller genre.
