Description
The sixteenth Parker novel, Butcher’s Moon is more than twice as long as 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 Slayground, Parker assembles a stunning cast of characters from throughout his career for one gigantic, blowout—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.
More than thirty-five years later, Butcher’s Moon 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.
