Slayground was the first Parker book I read, in whichever
reprinting put
a big #1 on the cover of it, the first in their series of "The
Violent
World of Parker." I was blown away by it, but after reading
them all in
the order in which I was able to track them down and then again
in
chronological order, plus The Hunter at least one or two more
times, I
think I slightly prefer the early ones. Still, there's not a
bad one in
the bunch. And he's still got it. I recently read the
latest,
Backflash, and it is an amazingly tight, thrilling read.
Westlake has
one more written, Flashfire, which he says will be published
late this
year.
