All of Stark's Parker books have very good first sentences. I
couldn't find ot when I recently searched, but there used to
be a web page which consisted of only the first sentences
from the original series. I think Parker has changed. He used
to have a rule to never work close to where he played. Yet
the job in BACKFLASH is less than one hundred miles from his
house. The previous Parker also would not have let his
'wife', Claire be so involved. The Parker of old was not
supposed to be a well rounded personality who changes with
time. He was an immutable force. Mark
