Parker. That's the name. He is the anti-hero of Richard Stark's novels. I like the chilled out methodical approach of Parker in the two novels I've read so far. The Hunter and The Man With The Getaway Face. If not on the other side of the law, Parker would almost be another of my favorite characters Jack Reacher, created by Lee Child. Both of these dudes are cool, calm, collected, chilled out and they kill when they have to kill.
Something about the book The Man With The Getaway Face. It takes off with Parker having changed his face and him trying to pull off a new job. The story goes in a linear fashion. With things happening one after another, but if you read carefully, there is a lot of story construction going on behind the scenes. These are the kinds of things you realise when you have an "Ah Ha!" moment in reading a novel. I had a few such moment in reading this novel.
Next on list, I've started with The Outfit which is the third book in Parker series. I'm reading this as an ebook, in paper, i think i'll start with The Judas Strain by James Rollins. Also, trying to read few poems by Bukowski.
Yup, that's all for now.
