New in Paperback—The University of Chicago Press has embarked on a project to return the early volumes of Richard Stark’s Parker series to print for a new generation of readers to discover—and become addicted to. Stark’s ruthless antihero is one of the most unforgettable characters in hardboiled noir. Lauded by critics for his taut realism, unapologetic amorality, and razor-sharp prose-style—and adored by fans who turn each intoxicating page with increasing urgency—Richard Stark is a master of crime writing, his books as influential as any in the genre.
Novels in the Parker series include:
The Hunter
The Man with the Getaway Face
The Outfit
