He was gone.” And readers waited.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBut nothing bad is truly gone forever, and Parker's as bad as they come. According to Westlake, one day in 1997, “suddenly, he came back from the dead, with a chalky prison pallor”-and the novels that followed showed that neither Parker nor Stark had lost a step.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBackflash\u003c\/i\u003e finds Parker checking out the scene on a Hudson River gambling boat. Parker's no fan of either relaxation or risk, however, so you can be sure he's playing with house money-and he's willing to do anything to tilt the odds in his favor. Featuring a great cast of heisters, a striking setting, and a new introduction by Westlake's close friend and writing partner, Lawrence Block, this classic Parker adventure deserves a place of honor on any crime fan's bookshelf.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blackstone Audio, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47102131175664,"sku":"2940169863550","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169863550_p0.jpg?v=1769901467","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169863550","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
