Starting off November a day early, I've had the enviable
opportunity to read FLASHFIRE - and it's a *terrific*
addition to the Parker legacy. In fact, it's a welcome
harkening back to the Parker of old - the true hardboiled,
ruthless, cold anti-hero...not the Parker that seemed to
"soften" in the last two installements (COMEBACK, BACKFLASH).
This one's tough, brutal and violent - and stands up to the
very best of the series.
The Stark "Parker" series is bar none my favorite series of
the genre - so I'm quite excited to have November so themed
and look forward to others' comments.
