Review "Parker... lumbers through the pages of Richard Starks noir novels scattering dead bodies like peanut shells.... In a complex world he makes things simple." - William Grimes, New York Times "Whatever Stark writes, I read. Hes a stylist, a pro, and I thoroughly enjoy his attitude." - Elmore Leonard "Donald Westlakes Parker novels are among the small number of books I read over and over. Forget all that crap youve been telling yourself about War and Peace and Proust - these are the books youll want on that desert island." - Lawrence Block "The Parkers read with the speed of pulp while unfolding with an almost Nabokovian wit and flair." - Richard Rayner, Los Angeles Times "Parker is refreshingly amoral, a thief who always gets away with the swag." - Stephen King, Entertainment Weekly" Review Quote "Whether early or late, the Parker novels are all superlative literary entertainments."-Terry Teachout, Weekly Standard Details ISBN0226771075 Author Luc Sante Short Title RARE COIN SCORE Language English ISBN-10 0226771075 ISBN-13 9780226771076 Media Book Format Paperback DEWEY 813.54 Year 2009 Series Parker Novels (Paperback) Residence Columbia County, NY, US Birth 1933 Death 2008 Imprint University of Chicago Press Place of Publication Chicago, IL Country of Publication United States Illustrations black & white illustrations NZ Release Date 2009-08-01 US Release Date 2009-08-01 UK Release Date 2009-08-01 Subtitle A Parker Novel Pages 160 Publisher The University of Chicago Press Publication Date 2009-08-01 Audience General AU Release Date 2009-08-14 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
