The Jugger

An action-packed entry in the classic hard-boiled crime series starring the unstoppable heister, Parker!

Richard Stark's Parker novels are the hardest of hard-boiled, classic crime novels where the heists are huge, the body counts are high, and the bad guys usually win.

The Parker novels have been a huge influence on countless writers and filmmakers, including Quentin Tarantino, Stephen King, George Pelecanos, Colson Whitehead, Lucy Sante, John Banville, and many more. Their stripped-down language and hard-as-nails amorality create an unforgettable world where the next score could be the big one, but your next mistake could also be your last. There's nothing else like them.

They say the past always catches up to you―but if he can help it, Parker won’t let his. In The Jugger, an old contact who could blow Parker’s cover tells Parker he’s in trouble ― then turns up dead. With Parker’s skeletons on the verge of escaping from their closet, he must put the pieces together―at any cost―before it’s too late.
