Master criminal Parker is back--and this time hes in deeper, darker trouble than ever before.

When a clandestine meeting of shady friends and shadier strangers ends with the death of a stool pigeon and Parker on the run, Richard Starks classic anti-hero is forced to reconsider his lifes work. But when he finds that his expertise is called for in the heist of a lifetime, money problems and sheer boredom override several glaring warning signs. Teamed with a crew of undesirables and incompetents, Parker heads to Smalltown, USA, to pull a bank job based on shaky inside information and an even shakier plan of action. A booze-addled and disgruntled bank heiress with a philandering social climber of a husband wants her money to herself. Parker and his posse need to keep her happy just long enough to make off with the loot, but an overzealous sheriff and a bounty hunter in search of the dead pigeon conspire to make life difficult. With Starks master craftsmanship at its peak, Parker will need every trick in his dubious arsenal to avoid having to pay the ultimate price for his questionable line of work.
