The Rare Coin Score

The Pequod Review:
In The Rare Coin Score, Parker and his female accomplice Claire — who would become Parker’s steady girlfriend for the remainder of the series — devise a plan to steal $2M in rare coins from an Indianapolis collectors convention. Despite some implausible decisions by Parker, this is another solid Stark novel, with good plotting and lean, precise prose:

“I guess I just felt I had to confess something to somebody.”
“That’s a bad feeling. Don’t get it anymore.”
Recommended.
