I'm reading THE SOUR LEMON SCORE (1969), the twelfth Parker
book by Richard Stark (Donald E. Westlake). (First line:
"Parker put the revolver away and looked out the
windshield.") Here's a quote that sums up Parker: "As for
himself, Parker didn't believe in luck, good or bad. He
believed in nothing but men who knew their job and did
it."
It's a library copy, and there's an odd annotation added in
pencil in one place. Parker's gotten in a jam and has
stumbled back to his hotel and fallen into bed after being
drugged and left in an alley. He remembers something
important, but then "before he could study this thought his
mind opened and dropped him into a valley of folded black
towels and he was done." Someone underlined "valley of folded
black towels" and wrote:
"Monogrammed?"
