Nobody Runs Forever: A Parker Novel
Nobody Runs Forever opens a three-part saga with a job at a poker game that sours into a necktie party. When Parker goes in on a messy scam-stealing an armored car-with someone he barely knows, as usual the amateurs get in the way of the job. From a nervous ex-con and his well-intentioned sister to a bank manager's two-timing wife and a beautiful, relentless cop, too many people have their hands too close to Parker's pie. Even when he sees the job turning bad, he can't let go of the score-and there just might be nowhere left to run...

Praise for this book
"You just can't get good criminal help these days. That's what Stark's heist-meister Parker quickly discovers as he tries to make a score to repair his sagging finances. . . . Stark offers lots of bleak fun as well as intriguing physical details of the illegal variety and righteously sharp descriptions of people we pass every day on the street. . . . This stellar series just gets better and better."-- "Publishers Weekly, starred review"
"Blazingly written. . . . From the necktie party beginning to the flap-flap of police helicopters on his trail at the end, it's another thrill ride worth staying up all night and calling in sick tomorrow morning for, you nine-to-five bandit, you."-- "Austin Chronicle"
"Although Parker keeps his cool to the bitter end, it will probably be some time before he can pick up a hymnal without cringing."--Marilyn Stasio "New York Times"
"A cliffhanger. . . . A one-two punch . . . [with] impact and velocity."--James Wolcott "New York Times"
"Stark's careful control over every element results in a fascinating novel, a look at the true price of crime, and an opportunity to enjoy another book by this master writer."-- "School Library Journal"
"Richard Stark's Parker crime novels are the ultimate page-turners."--Jonathan Ames "The Boston Globe"
"Fiercely distracting . . . . Westlake is an expert plotter; and while Parker is a blunt instrument of a human being depicted in rudimentary short grunts of sentences, his take on other characters reveals a writer of great humor and human understanding."--John Hodgman ""Parade""
