{"product_id":"9780226770956","title":"Butcher's Moon (Parker Series #16)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe sixteenth Parker novel, \u003ci\u003eButcher’s Moon\u003c\/i\u003e is more than twice as long most of the master heister’s adventures, and absolutely jammed with the action, violence, and nerve-jangling tension readers have come to expect. Back in the corrupt town where he lost his money, and nearly his life, in \u003ci\u003eSlayground\u003c\/i\u003e, Parker assembles a stunning cast of characters from throughout his career for one gigantic, blowout job: starting—and finishing—a gang war. It feels like the Parker novel to end all Parker novels, and for nearly twenty-five years that’s what it was. After its publication in 1974, Donald Westlake said, “Richard Stark proved to me that he had a life of his own by simply disappearing. He was gone.” \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeaturing a new introduction by Westlake’s close friend and writing partner, Lawrence Block, this classic Parker adventures deserve a place of honor on any crime fan’s bookshelf. More than thirty-five years later, \u003ci\u003eButcher's Moon\u003c\/i\u003e still packs a punch: keep your calendar clear when you pick it up, because once you open it you won't want to do anything but read until the last shot is fired.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50108096512240,"sku":"9780226770956","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780226770956","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
